Ginger Chai

Cardamom - 3 pods

Ginger - a small piece

Place cardamom and ginger in a mortar. Use the pestle to crush them and set aside.

In a pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the crushed mixture and let it boil for approximately 5 minutes.

Next, add the tea leaves to the boiling mixture and continue boiling for another 5 minutes.

Add milk, allowing it to reach a rolling boil.

Take off the heat and strain the tea into individual cups.
