Directions
Put peppercorns, cardamom seeds, cloves and cinnamon in a mortar and grind to a fine powder with a pestle.
Add ginger and grind again for a few seconds to mix.
Make a pot of tea and add about ½ tablespoon of spice mixture and leave in a warm place for 1 to 2 minutes to brew.
Serve hot, with sugar and milk.
Makes about 8 tablespoons spice mix, enough for 16 pots tea.
Note:
Store remaining spice mixture in a screw-topped jar in a dark cupboard to preserve its flavor. It will keep for 2 to 3 months.
