  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 3 cups water
    • 10 whole green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
    • 5 whole cloves
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and quartered
    • 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 4 black tea bags, such as English Breakfast
    • 1 1/2 cups soy milk

Directions

  1. Place the water in a small saucepan, and add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla bean and scrapings. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until mixture is aromatic, about 15 minutes. Whisk in honey, and drop tea bags in pan; turn off heat, and let steep 3 minutes.
  2. Strain tea through a fine strainer or a coffee filter into a warmed serving pot. Heat soy milk in same saucepan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes; do not let it come to a boil or it will separate. Pour into serving pot with the tea, and stir well to combine. Serve immediately.
