Ingredients
  

  • 10 Cups Water
  • 10 regular Black Tea Bags or 5 family size
  • 5 tsp Ground Cardamom or 25 seeds crushed
  • 10 whole Cloves
  • 1 1/4 tsp Ginger
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 12 1/2 Cups Milk Try Coconut milk if you are lactose intolerant
  • 1 2/3 Cup Sugar I use evaporated cane sugar

Whipped Cream

  • 3 Cups Heavy cream
  • 3 Tbs Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Boil the water along with the spices.  Turn off the heat and add the tea bags, let steep for 10 minutes.  Remove the tea bags, stir in the milk and turn on the heat.  Let it boil for about 1 minute more.  Stir in sugar until dissolved. Strain out the seeds and cloves before serving

Whipped cream

  • If you would like fresh whipped cream, chill your mixer bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.  Next, stir the sugar into the cream to let it dissolve.  Powdered sugar dissolves the best.  Now whisk on medium high in a stand mixer for around 4-5 minutes, watch for stiff peaks.  Watch it closely, otherwise you will have sweet butter!
