Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3.5 cups water
  • 1 inch piece ginger root (smashed)
  • 5 whole cardamom pods (smashed)
  • 3 whole black peppercorns
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 small star anise
  • 1/2 medium cinnamon stick
  • 4 earl grey tea bags
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy creamer
  • 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar

Instruction

  • Begin by cutting the ginger into quarters and using the back of your knife to smash each piece. Next, carefully smash the cardamom pods to open them. I say carefully because you do not want the insides flying all over since you are using them to infuse the water with flavor so cup the pods and gently smash.
  • Combine water with all spices in a spice ball or spice bag. Alternately, just dump all the spices in the water and plan to strain the tea before serving. Whatever is easier.
  • Bring to a rapid boil and let boil for 5 minutes.
  • Add tea bags, palm sugar, almond milk and creamer. Bring back to a boil, let boil for 1 to 2 minutes and remove from heat.
  • Let cool for a couple minutes, strain, serve and Enjoy!
