2 cups water filtered preferred
2 tbsp black tea leaves strong variety like Assam
2 tbsp sugar adjust to taste
2 pods green cardamom lightly crushed

Notes

For best results, use fresh whole milk and quality black tea leaves. The tea can be made ahead and reheated gently, though it's best fresh. Adjust sugar to your preference - some enjoy it very sweet while others prefer it mildly sweetened. For a stronger tea, increase the tea leaves by 1 tablespoon. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
