Ingredients
- 2 cups Water 480 ml
- 2-3 tsp Loose tea leaves black tea
- 2/3 cup Oat/soy milk 160 ml
- Brown sugar to taste
Whole Spices
- 6 Whole green cardamom
- 2-3 Black peppercorns
- 4-5 Whole cloves
- 1 stick Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Grated nutmeg
Aromatics
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 stalk Lemongrass optional
Instructions
- Take a mortar and pestle and crush your whole spices. Set aside.
- Slice lemongrass into 1 inch pieces and lightly crush it under a knife. Grate the ginger with a microplane or grater.
- Add water to a pan, add the spices and aromatics (lemongrass and ginger) and bring to a boil.
- Once it starts boiling, add the tea leaves and turn down the heat to medium or medium-low.
- Let it get to the strength of infusion you want (I like to let it be on a slow boil for about 2-3 minutes) and turn off the heat and add the oat/soy milk. Heat it again if it's not hot enough, but do not boil (especially oat milk).
- Add sugar to taste and serve hot with snacks!
