Ingredients

Items Used:

Ingredients:

  • 15 green cardamom pods or 6 black cardamom (I used a mix of these)
  • 4 cinnamon sticks (16g)
  • 1 Tbsp (10g) black peppercorns
  • 12 cloves
  • ¼ tsp fresh grated or ground nutmeg
  • 2- 3” strips oranges zest (optional)
  • ¼ cup (55g) granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (45g) fresh ginger rough chopped
  • ½ cup (23g) loose leaf black tea

Directions

  1. Take your green/black cardamom, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns and cloves and place in a baking sheet; toasting them at 350℉ for 6 - 8 minutes.
  2. Once toasted, combine your spices with 1 quart of filtered water in a pot. Add in your ginger which has been roughly chopped, your granulated sugar, orange peels and ground nutmeg.
  3. Bring your mixture up to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce it down to a low simmer and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 30 seconds. Drop in ½ cup of loose leaf black tea. Let it steep for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Strain your mixture and reserve your liquid.
