Time 2h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 gallon water
30 cloves
30 whole green cardamom pods
30 whole black peppercorns
1 piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
5 cinnamon sticks
1 black tea bag
1 pinch milk
1 pinch honey

Steps:

Bring water to a fast boil in a stainless steel pot.
Add whole cloves and let them dance for about 1 minute.
Add peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom and gingerroot.
Turn heat down so it is just simmering, cover, and let lightly boil for 45-60 minutes.
Finally, add black tea bag and boil another 5 minute.
If adding milk & honey, do so after adding the tea bag and letting it steep- (** OR BETTER yet add milk and honey to individual cups or a small batch. That way you can store the raw tea in the fridge and prepare with milk and honey as you go).
After adding milk and or honey, bring to a boil one last time.
Remove from heat, and let sit for another hour (or overnight). This way it gets nice and strong so you can best enjoy this potent spice blend!
Strain and refrigerate.
Enjoy!
