Ingredients and Method to make Fennel flavored tea
1 cup water
1 cup hot milk
3/4 tsp fennel seeds (saunf/sombu)
4 whole black pepper (milagu)(can be substituted with a pinch or two of black pepper powder)
2- 1 inch pieces of cinnamon stick
1 inch piece of ginger crushed (or to taste)
2 tsp sugar (or to taste)
2 tsp loose tea powder
Place water in a sufficiently large pan and place on heat. Add ginger, fennel seeds, pepper, cinnamon and allow it to come to a boil. When it starts to boil, lower heat and allow this to simmer for a couple of minutes for the flavors to infuse.
Add sugar. After a few seconds add tea powder and quickly remove from heat. Allow the tea to steep for 4 to 5 minutes or more depending on how strong you like it.

Add hot milk, mix well and strain. If you want your tea piping hot and live in a colder part of the world, your tea probably needs to be reheated by this point.
Serve hot. Serves 2
