Ingredients

  • 800 ml Water
  • 3 Tea Bags
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 5 Green Cardamoms Elachi
  • 300 ml Milk
  • 2- inch Cinnamon Dalchini

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan pour the water in and bring to a gentle boil

  • Add the tea bags then allow to gently simmer on medium heat for 3-4 minutes
  • Pour in the milk and bring it to a gentle boil – better to use whole fat milk but can be substituted with semi skimmed milk or for a vegan alternative almond and oat milk works well

  • Serve alongside homemade paratha and onion pakora for a desi teatime treat and enjoy!

Thank you! I wouldn’t recommend it. The taste and colour will change. You can have it a few hours later but not the next day. Hope that helps 🙂
