600ml water

1 cinnamon stick

4 whole cloves, ground

4 cardamom pods, seeds ground and husk discarded

2 tsp fresh ginger, sliced

1 tsp black peppercorns, roughly ground

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp nutmeg, freshly ground

1 tbsp. sweetener of your choice (raw honey or maple syrup,
sugar, brown rice syrup etc.)

Bring water to boil and add peppermint or tea. Remove from heat
and leave for 20 minutes. Strain away peppermint/ tea then add
milk, spices and sweetener (except raw honey or maple syrup -
which is always added at the end) to the water. Heat and keep on
low heat for 20 minutes. Strain and serve.

This is an Indian staple, and is delicious at any time of day.

Black peppercorns help relieve gas, try them in a variety of
recipes.

The Chinese allow their tea to stand only for a few
minutes, therefore only a portion of the tannin is extracted, and so
the tea can be taken without milk.
