- Preparation: 2 min
- Cooking: 8 min
- Makes: 1 serving (280 g)

Ingredients
- 60 g Water
- 60 g Black tea, brewed
- 150 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Sugar
- 0.2 g Cardamom
Method
- Bring the water to a boil in a small pan with the black tea and cardamom, to make a strong, concentrated brew.
- Add the milk and bring back to a gentle simmer; traditionally, tea leaves are boiled directly in milk to give doodh patti its rich, deep colour.
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes, letting the milk froth up and settle a couple of times, so it takes on a deep, milky-brown colour.
- Stir in the sugar, then simmer 1 minute more.
- Strain into a cup and serve hot.
