 ½ teaspoon tea masala (easily available in any Indian grocery store)
 2 cups oat milk

Instructions

In a saucepan on medium-high heat, pour water, tea, coconut sugar, cardamom pods. ginger and tea masala.

2

Let it boil for 5 minutes, which will enhance and meld all of the flavors.

Remove from the stove, strain, and serve.

Serves: 2 to 3

For this recipe, oat milk is highly recommended to get the consistency just right. Almond and soy milk can leave an aftertaste and have a watery consistency.
