Indian Style Tea

This is my take on Indian Tea commonly drunken throughout India. This recipe is for one large cup or two small cups. Extremely tasty and comforting with many health benefits. Not much beats this on a cold winters morning.

Ingredient

Food ration :

1 serving

Cooking time :

10 mins

1 cup

water

3/4 cup

milk (preferably full cream)

2 tsp

good quality black loose tea leaves (I use Wagh Bakri)

green cardamom pods

cloves

black pepper corns

1/2

of one star of anise

1/3 (1 stick)

cinnamon

1/2 tsp

fennel seeds

1-2 tsp

sugar (optional)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Lightly crush your spices and add tea and water to a saucepan and bring to the boil. Be sure not to boil water to long or u will over boil the water and spoil the taste.

* Step 2

Once the water has boiled add your milk and again bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and bring to the boil again. Doing this process multiple times will create a creamy and more richer flavoured tea.

* Step 3

As soon as the milk is boiling add your sugar this can be done afterwards but I like to infuse my sugar with my tea in the boiling process. Once it has boiled strain into cup/cups using a small strainer and enjoy.

* Step 4

This Recipe can be changed and altered to your liking. As you make it more and more u will discover what spices etc. you may like more or less of. Sugar is definitely optional but in my opinion you can't drink Indian tea without sugar. Also you can adapt the recipe to make more or less tea.
