Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2 tablespoon black tea (try to get one as strong as possible. If teabags are all you have, cut them open and use the loose leaves.)

- ½ cup soymilk (can substitute with oat milk or an unflavored creamer)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water, cardamom, ginger and sugar to a boil.
- Add the tea leaves and continue at a rolling boil for at least two more minutes.
- Turn off the heat and immediately add the soymilk or creamer at room temperature
- Cover the saucepan, let everything steep together for a minute or two, then strain into little glass tumblers.
- Serve hot with samosas, bhujias, or cookies.
