Masala Tea

I got this reciep for masala tea from a cookery site.
I wanted to make masala tea for a long time but somehow never tried it.
My husband had cold last week due to lot of travelling and a bad weather and now for the past few days he got this cough which he's not able to get rid of. So I thought this is the best time I can make masala tea. We both really enjoyed every sip of it. Its so refreshing that you will definitely try it again and again like me.

Ingredients:

1 cup Water

1 cup Milk

6 Cardamoms

1 inch piece Cinnamon

2 Cloves

1/2 tsp Pepper

2 inch piece ginger

1 small piece Star Anise

2 tsp Tea ( I used Kannan Devan Strong  - Dust from kerala as I don't get it here in Riyadh)

Method:

Boil water with tea and all the spices crushed together in a mortar and pestle. I crush ginger separately.

Boil this mixture in low flame for 5 to 8 minutes.

Strain this and add boiled milk to this and mix well.

Serve hot on a cold winter.
