Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 teaspoons loose black tea (strong)
  • 4 teaspoons sugar or to taste
  • 5 green cardamom pods
  • 10 black peppercorns (or less if you are afraid)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Method

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix the milk and water and set to heat on the stove.
  • In a mortar and pestle, pound the cardamom and peppercorns until you get a coarse powder with pieces of husk in it.
  • Add to the milk and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat.
  • Add the tea and simmer until the whiteness of the milk is replaced by a light brown. Continue to simmer until the strength of the tea is to your taste.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and ginger. Strain into a pre-warmed teapot or into cups.
