• 12 cloves
• 1 1/2 cinnamon sticks
• 10 cardamom pods (cracked open)
• 4 black pepper corns
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel

Bring this all to a boil for 5 minutes, then add black tea and optionally ginger and let steep for 10 more minutes. Add an equal part of milk, bring up to a boil slowly, then let steep another 5-10 minutes so it can absorb more flavor.

Drink.
