Ginger Tea


Happy New Year everyone! I am posting my first recipe for this year that is simple yet addictive and refreshing - Ginger tea.  Most of you love it. Don't you? Tea can be prepared using different aromatic ingredients like cardamom, cloves, ginger, cinnamon.

Serves 2

Ingredients:
Tea leaves - 3 tsp
Water - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 to 4 tsp
Grated ginger - 1/2 tsp 
and/or
Crushed Cardamom - 3

Method:
In a pan, add 1 cup of water, grated ginger and/or cardamom and bring it to a boil. 
Add tea leaves and let it boil for 1-1.5 minutes. Filter and set aside.
Boil milk in another pan and add the tea decoction and sugar. 
Stir and serve hot with biscuits or snacks.

I have tried a few tea brands. Some of my favorites are - Wagh Bakri, Three roses, Society, Taj Mahal.
