Ginger (Adrak) (ground) ¼ tsp. or 8 Cardamom Pods (Ilaichi) (hulled and seeds crushed) More Cardamom Pods (Ilaichi) (ground) 8 teabags or 3 tbsp. loose Assam Tea or Orange Pekoe Tea Combine milk, 1 quart water, sugar, ginger, and cardamom seed in a 3 to 4 quart pan; over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add tea and simmer, stirring gently, for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let stand until tea turns to a dark reddish brown color, for about 1 minute. Pour through a fine strainer into a hot teapot and serve.
