A lovely change of pace from café au lait, cappuccino or hot chocolate, and lower in fat and calories, too. Ingredients:
6 cups water |
6 whole cardamom pods |
4 fresh or crystallized ginger slices |
2 1 1/2 x 3-inch orange peel strips (orange part only) |
6 whole cloves |
2 cups low-fat milk |
6 teaspoons tea leaves (preferably darjeeling or assam) |
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add milk and tea, bring to boil and simmer 2 minutes. Turn off heat and steep 4 to 6 minutes, according to desired strength. Mix in sugar. Strain tea. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.)
