Warm & Spiced Pulhia Tea Recipe at Home

Equipment Needed

• Small saucepan
• Strainer
• Mugs
• Mortar and pestle (optional)

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 black tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose black tea
• 2-3 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated or thinly sliced
• 2-3 teaspoons sugar, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine water, crushed cardamom pods, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
2. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the water.
3. Add the black tea bags or loose tea leaves to the simmering water. Continue to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour in the milk and add sugar to your desired sweetness. Stir well.
5. Increase the heat slightly and bring the tea to a gentle boil. Watch carefully to prevent it from overflowing. Let it boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a rich color and aroma.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Place a strainer over your mugs and pour the pulhia tea through it to remove the spices and tea leaves.
7. Serve your warm and comforting pulhia tea immediately.

Notes & Tips

• For a stronger ginger flavor, you can add more ginger.
• Adjust sugar to your preference. You can also use honey or other sweeteners.
• For a creamier tea, use full-fat milk.
• Do not over-boil the milk once added, as it can change the texture and taste.
