How to Make Ginger Spiced Tea
- Combine 4 cups water, 1 (1-inch) piece of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger, 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, and 2 star anise in a heavy large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 4 tea bags (black tea recommended) to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 4-6 minutes, depending on your desired strength. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs and serve immediately. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a thin slice of ginger (optional).
