This spiced tea is perfect for sipping on to warm up after winter adventures.
Ingredients
2
inch
piece of ginger
sliced into coins (I usually can’t be bothered to peel ginger when I don’t have to, so I always buy organic)
2
cardamom pods
crushed (with the back of a wooden spoon, a knife, or some other hard surface)
2
cinnamon sticks
8
black peppercorns
6
whole cloves
2
star anise
(optional)
2
cups
water
3
black tea bags
2 ½
cups
shelf-stable almond or hemp milk
Maple syrup or liquid sweetener to taste
Instructions
Combine spices and tea bags with water and bring to a boil.
Cover, and reduce to simmer for five minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit five more minutes.
Add the milk and heat up to just before the liquid reaches the boiling point, when you can start to see small bubbles forming on the edge of the pot.
Strain and add liquid sweetener to taste. Enjoy!
