Water- 1 ½ cup 
Ginger- 1 very small cube smashed
Black Pepper- A pinch
Cardamom- 2 pods
Tea- (Either bag or loose)
Milk- 1 cup

  1. In a sauce pan, boil water along with ginger, cardamom and black pepper.
  2. Once the water has come to boil add 1 ½ table spoon or 3 bags of tea.
  3. Let it boil for a while, once you see the water has reduced a little and you get the warm fragrance of the spices brewed along with the tea;  add milk.
  4. Now allow the tea to boil until the raw flavour of milk has evaporated.
