Ingredients

4 cups water
2 tbsp loose black tea leaves or 4 tea bags
4 pods green cardamom lightly crushed
1 stick cinnamon broken in half
1/4 tsp saffron threads
2 cups whole milk
2-4 tbsp sugar adjust to taste

Notes

For a stronger flavor, increase the tea leaves by 1 tablespoon. Store leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently. For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk for a tropical twist. The saffron can be omitted if unavailable, though it adds the signature golden color and unique flavor.
