2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free) Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
2 bags black tea (Assam or English Breakfast) Any strong black tea will work.
1 stick cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated) Adjust according to taste.

2 whole cloves
2 tbsp honey (or sugar, adjust to taste) Sweeten according to preference.

Preparation

In a saucepan, pour in the milk and add the black tea bags, cinnamon stick, ground ginger, crushed cardamom pods, and whole cloves.
Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it comes to a gentle simmer.
