Ingredients and method to make Spiced Tea
1 cup of water
1 cup of milk (I use 2 %)
2 tsp of brown sugar (or any other type of sugar)
2 tsp of loose tea powder
1/2 tsp of tea spice powder from above
grated ginger as per taste
Heat water on the stove top. When it heats up add grated ginger, sugar, spice powder.
When the water begins to boil add the loose tea powder let it boil for a scant 20 seconds to half a minute and remove from heat.
Simultaneously,in a separate container heat milk until it gets to boiling point or use a microwave safe mug or dish to heat milk until it is close to boiling point.
Add this milk to the tea and mix well and strain into two mugs.
Serve hot.
Yields 2 cups of tea.
Notes:
If you are using milk which is creamier like it is in India you may want to reduce the quantity of milk.
Adjust sugar and other spices as per taste, my tea tends to be only mildly sweet not very sweet.
