Ginger Cardamom Milk Tea
Iva
Today I have prepared a hot beverage for the cold days. Very spicy and warming. In Bulgaria, we do not drink tea with milk but with this recipe I hope we are going to correct the mistake. Couple of years ago, I poured cold milk into a cup of tea and it was disgusted. Couple of years later, I realized that black tea should be brewed with milk on the stove. From that moment, it became my favorite tea I have ever tasted. The recipe is inspired by Indian culture. Indians do not drink tea without milk.
