Pakistani tea, filled with whole spices, the perfect way to start your morning

Prep Time 1

Cook Time 13

Course Breakfast, Drinks

Cuisine Indian, Pakistani

Servings 4 people

400 ml whole milk semi skimmed milk or oat milk would also work
600 ml water
4 tea bags you can use 5 if you prefer a stronger brew
4 green cardamon pods, shells cracked
1 tsp fennel seeds
6 cloves
1 cinnamon bark, 1-2 inches in length
1/2 tsp knob of ginger, skin removed
2 tbsp granulated sugar, to your taste you could also use honey instead of sugar

Put all the ingredients in a saucepan, except for the sugar and bring to boil. (Watch out for the tea spilling over, I am notoriously clumsy and always have a spillage at this point!)
Once the tea has come to boil, turn the heat right down to low, add the sugar and let it simmer for a further 10 minutes.
Use a sieve to pour the tea from the pan into mugs/teapot and serve immediately and enjoy!

1. Make sure the pan you are using is not too wide, as this will mean in step 2, a lot of the tea will evaporate, the smaller the pan the better.

2. Keep an eye on when you are bringing the tea to boil that it does not spill over
