Masala Tea (indian Spiced Tea)

2 tablespoons darjeeling tea (see note below)
8 white cardamom pods or green cardamom pods
2 inches cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
5 cups cold water
sugar or honey or milk, to taste

Directions ::..

1. Warm your teapot by rinsing it with boiling water.

2. Place the tea& spices in the teapot.

3. Boil the 5 cups of water and pour over the tea& spices.

4. Let steep for 5 minutes, stir, and serve with a cardamom pod added to each cup.

5. Add sugar, honey and/or milk to taste.

6. NOTES:.

7. You can substitute Assam or Ceylon tea for the darjeeling, and can use teabags instead (1 or 2 per cup of water, depending on how strong you like your tea).

8. If using a coffeemaker, 4 teabags for a 10-cup pot seems to work perfectly.
