<p>Serves 2:</p> <p>Time: 30 minutes (5 minutes active)</p> <h1>Ingredients:</h1> <p>Spices:</p> <ul> <li>1/2 tsp whole cloves</li> <li>1/2 a cassia (cinnamon) stick</li> <li>1 1/2 tsp cardamom&nbsp;seeds (or pods)</li> <li>2/5 of a star anies</li> <li>1/4 tsp grated nutmeg (optional)</li> <li>1 1/2 tsp fenugreek (optional)</li> </ul> <p>Other:</p> <ul> <li>2 cups whole milk</li> <li>2-3 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin</li> <li>1 teabag, black or rooibus</li> <li>Honey or sugar to taste</li> </ul> <h1>Directions:</h1> <p>Heat a small frying pan on the stove. When pan is hot, add cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom seeds, nutmeg seed (if using), and fenugrek (if using). Don&#39;t try this with ground spices - they stick to the frying pan.</p> <p>When spices just start to smoke, pour contents of frying pan into a pot. Add the ginger, milk, and tea bags. Bring to a simmer, and simmer for 20 minutes. If using black tea, possibly add later. Pour through a strainer into mugs, and add honey or sugar to taste.</p> <p>If you really want to be fancy, you can repeatedly&nbsp;press the resulting liquid in a french press, which doubles or triples&nbsp;the volume of the milk.</p>; <p>It&#39;s possible that the spices should be added later than the ginger and the tea - need to run some tests.</p>;
