- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves

Instructions
Infuse The Spices And Tea
- Pour 2 cups of water into a small saucepan and add the crushed cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger, and black tea. Place over medium heat and bring it just to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for 2–4 minutes so the spices release their full aroma.
Add Milk And Sweetness

Strain And Serve
- Take the pan off the heat and strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer if you used loose tea or whole spices. Serve it hot and savor the warm, spiced flavours of Adeni Tea.
