Spiced tea
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Preparing this richly spiced tea is quite simple. You can adjust the spice blend to your taste, as well as the sweetness of the drink. If using sugar, I recommend adding cane sugar. Now, let's go through the steps in order. 1. Take a small saucepan or sauté pan. Add pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. 2. Peel a small piece of ginger root, slice it, and add to the pan. 3. Wash the garlic thoroughly. Make several cuts with a knife and add it whole to the other spices. 4. Pour in water and place over heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to the minimum and let simmer for about 5 minutes. 5. Remove from heat and add tea leaves. Cover with a lid and let steep for 2–3 minutes. 6. Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat milk with sugar or honey until boiling. 7. Strain the tea through a very fine sieve and pour it into the boiling milk. Gently stir and bring to a boil once again. 8. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for a couple of minutes before serving. That's the whole secret—now you can enjoy this fragrant beverage. In summer, you can cool the tea-milk mixture and add ice cubes to the glass. This will make a refreshing and invigorating drink. The beverage is ready to serve.
