The ubiquitous drink of India, we far preferred the more heavily spiced and creamy stuff in Rajasthan to the more subtle flavouring elsewhere.  We’ve tried a few different recipes now and it seems to be one of those things that’s trial and error and totally adjustable according to taste.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups water
• 4 tsp tea leaves
• 1 tsp (or more) roughly chopped ginger
• 2 tsp green cardamom
• 1/2 cup milk
• sugar to taste

And then:

1. Boil the water, tea, ginger and cardamom powder together for 3 minutes.  Add the milk and sugar and boil for another 2 minutes.
2. Strain and serve.
