A warm and aromatic Yemeni-inspired spiced tea, perfect for cozy moments.
Combine the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and ground ginger in a medium saucepan.
Crushing the cardamom pods slightly releases more flavor.
Add the milk and water to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Use a whisk to ensure the spices are well distributed.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the milk to prevent it from boiling over.
Add the sugar and black tea to the simmering mixture and stir well.
Adjust the sugar to your taste preference.
Let the tea simmer for another minute, then remove from heat.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Strain the tea into a mug and serve hot.
If you prefer, you can skip straining and simply remove the larger spices.
