11
¾ teaspoon whole cloves
4 teaspoons loose black tea, such as Darjeeling
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1
⁄3
cup cold whole milk
1. Combine all ingredients except the sugar and milk in a
large saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and
steep mixture for 15 minutes.
2. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a clean
saucepan. Add the brown sugar and cook over
medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring
occasionally to dissolve the sugar and slightly reduce
the tea. Remove from heat and measure out 1 cup of
tea into a mug.
3. With the warming stirrer in place, add the milk to the
tank and press the hot milk button. Pour milk into tea
and stir. Serve immediately.
*This recipe makes more tea than is needed for a single
serving; however, we like to prepare this as a larger batch
for having on hand when desired.
