Ingredients

  • For eight servings:
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root; grated
  • 1 whole star anise; broken up
  • 1 teaspoon orange peel; grated
  • 4 pieces cinnamon sticks; 1 1/2 inch
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 5 whole peppercorns
  • 5 cups water
  • 1/4 cup black tea leaves; (like Assam or Darjeeling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cups skim milk

Directions

1

Bundle up the first seven ingredients in a length of cheese cloth and tie it together with a string. This is called a bouquet garni (pronounced "boo-KAY gar-NEE").

2

Place the bouquet garni in a pot of water. The string should be tied to the handle for easy removal later on.

3

Bring the water to a very low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Boiling water may extract too much bitterness from the tea leaves.

4

Add tea leaves and continue simmering for 15 minutes.

5

Remove the bouquet garni.

6

Strain the remaining liquid through a sieve to remove tea leaves.

7

Add honey, vanilla, and milk.

8

Serve. Pour the mixture over crushed ice if you're serving it cold.Category:CleanupFrom [http://tor4.wikia.com Tmp], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.From [http://recipes.wikia.com Recipes Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.
