With unique ingredients and combination of flavors this tea so wonderful that it tastes as if straight from some specialty store. Certainly a 'must-try' recipe!
Ingredients:
- Tea leaves - 2 tsp
- Pineapple sage leaves - 6-8 leaves
- Ginger - 1 inch
- Black peppercorns - 0.5 tsp
- Elaichi (cardamom) - 3 pods
- Milk (or) vegan milk - 0.5 cup
- Sugar - 3 tsp
Method:
- Grate ginger into a vessel
- Tear the pineapple sage leaves and add to it
- Add hot water and bring to a boil ('Soup' mode in IP)
- Add tea leaves and boil for a minute
- Add milk and let it boil for another minute
- Powder cardamom and black peppercorns together
- Add it to the boiling tea and turn off the heat
- Cover and let steep for a couple minutes
- Strain into cups
- Add sugar as preferred and serve hot
Tips and Tricks:
- The heat of ginger and black pepper kicks up the natural flavor of the pineapple sage
- Cardamom gives the feel of freshness like a dessert
- Heating water in a hot water kettle expedites the process
- To cut the time needed to grate or process the flavorings, put them all in a blender jar with half a cup of hot water and pulse. (Ginger will be grated, leaves will be ripped, zest will be incorporated, etc.!) Pour it into the vessel and whisk the remaining hot water in the blender jar and use that for the tea. Clean up will be done instantly
- Per cup of tea, use: 1 cup water; less than half a cup of milk and little more than a spoon of tea leaves
