Hilde’s Ginger Tea

(Perfect for sipping while wandering the Barrow Downs.)

1Cup water
1Cup milk
2” piece of ginger, peeled and grated
6 green or white cardamom pods, cracked open
2” stick of cinnamon or 4 cloves
2 teaspoons loose black tea, or 2 tea bags
2 Tablespoons sugar (or to taste)

Put all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. When it looks like it will boil over, remove from heat for a few seconds and then return and boil again. Reduce heat and let steep for about 5 minutes or so.

This is a very spicy concoction, so if you rather reduce the heat, you can use less ginger.
