Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tbsp loose black tea leaves or 4 tea bags
  • 4 pods green cardamom lightly crushed
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2-4 tbsp sugar to taste

Notes

For stronger flavor, simmer the tea base for up to 15 minutes before adding milk. Store leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently. You can substitute whole milk for evaporated milk, though the texture will be less creamy. For a vegan version, use coconut milk or oat milk.
