Concentrated tea

Dedicated to all tea lovers!
Try out this soothing masala tea concentrate!
when you are back from work tired and when you need a strong dose of energy quickly you can keep this concentrate ready in your refrigerator & enjoy sipping it. Here goes its steeping method:
Crush together:
2 tsp. black pepper,
2 tsp. fresh ginger root
6 pods of cardamom
10 inches of cinnamon stick
3 tsp. cloves
Add to 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook on medium for 10 minutes. I do mine in the microwave.
Add 8 tsp. of tea. I use Darjeeling OP. Steep for 8 minutes or so. Stain out the spices and tea. Add 1 tsp. of vanilla and 3 tsp. of honey.
This can be refrigerated for weeks. Heat up as needed and add an equal amount of steamed milk. Top with cinnamon.
NOTE:
For a mocha chai, use chocolate milk instead of white.
For herbal chai, replace the Darjeeling with 1 tsp. each of chamomile, fennel seed and peppermint.
Happy steeping
