Instructions
Preparing Masala /Spice Powder Mixture
Take a frying pan and put green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper pods, and fennel seeds one by one in that pan.
Dry toast with all these ingredients for a few seconds.
Now cool down those whole spices and grind them with the help of a mortar and pestle. You can also use an electric mixture or spice blender to prepare the powder as well. No need to make fine powder, coarsely ground will be enough.
Transfer the powder mixture into an air-tight glass bottle or jar and keep it aside for later use.
Preparing The Tea
Before starting to make the tea, cut 1-inch size ginger and smash it with a pestle. Keep it aside.
Take a tea-making pot and pour 2 cups of liquid milk. Also, add ¼ cup of water to the pot. (Instead of liquid milk, you can also take 2 cups of water. When it will become warm, add 4 tbsp of powder milk to the water and mix. Then follow the other procedure as it is.)
Then add 4 tsp of sugar or add sugar as per your taste in it. Give a mix and let it boil. (Actually, you can skip mixing sugar at this point and can mix in the tea while serving.)
After 1 or 2 boiling of the milk, add 2 tbsp of tea leaves. Mix and wait until another 1 or 2 boiling.
Now lower down the heat and add smashed ginger. Then add the required amount of masala or spice powder mixture. Give it a good mix and wait for another boil. Let all the spices infused in the tea.
When you will get your desired color and smell of tea, turn off the stove.
