Instructions
Begin by boiling your water. While its heating up, crush your cardamom pods, cloves, peppercorns, and cinnamon stick in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle.
Add this spice blend to your water along with your fresh ginger and let the mixture boil for a few minutes before adding in your tea. Let the mixture reduce until you get your desired concentration/consistency. (I'm usually left with around 1/4c of concentrate).
Break open your tea bag (or use tea powder) and pour into the water and let it boil for another 2 minutes. Make sure not to over-steep the mixture or else it will turn bitter.
Remove your mixture from heat, and strain it with a sieve.
Boil your milk of choice and combine it with your concentrate and rose syrup to taste. The ratio of milk to concentrate to rose syrup is totally up to you!
