Tips
You can use any black tea bags you have.
I used Punjana Decaffeinated tea bags for the evening and usually I use my Clippers Organic bags for daytime drinking.
Cinnamon is an optional ingredient, I love it although traditionally you would just add the cardamom to the tea.
In summer you can make the tea, cool and store it in the fridge, when you feel like something refreshing help yourself to a cup of elaichi in an ice-packed glass.
