- 2 tablespoons darjeeling tea (see note below)
- 8 white cardamom pods or 8 green cardamom pods
- 2 inches cinnamon sticks
- 4 whole cloves
- 5 cups cold water

Warm your teapot by rinsing it with boiling water.
Place the tea& spices in the teapot.
Boil the 5 cups of water and pour over the tea& spices.
Let steep for 5 minutes, stir, and serve with a cardamom pod added to each cup.
Add sugar, honey and/or milk to taste.
NOTES:.
You can substitute Assam or Ceylon tea for the darjeeling, and can use teabags instead (1 or 2 per cup of water, depending on how strong you like your tea).
If using a coffeemaker, 4 teabags for a 10-cup pot seems to work perfectly.
