METHOD
- Wash and peel the skin of ginger.Crush it along with cardamom using a mortar & pestle.Keep aside.
- Take the boiled milk in a milk pan or bowl.Add little water.If u use thick milk add 1/4 cup of water for 3/4 cup of milk.If using thin milk,add just 2 tbsp of water.
- To this add sugar and tea powder.Add the crushed ginger & cardamom seed.Keep the flame medium and boil the tea for 2 minutes.The essence of ginger and cardamom would be absorbed well.
- Remove the pan and strain the tea using a tea strainer or cloth filter. Serve in a glass or cup.Enjoy !

Note
- Add more sugar based on your taste.My mom always adds less sugar because the sugar should not supress the taste of tea.
- You can make this tea by adding ginger or cardamom alone.
- Tea tastes good only if water is added to the milk.So a tea should not be thick.
- If u want strong and nice colored tea,add more tea powder and allow it to boil for more time.
