For each litre of water: 12 whole cloves 16 green cardamom pods (crush slightly) 16 black peppercorns 2 cinnamon sticks 4 slices of fresh ginger (more if you like) 2 tsp black tea 2 cups milk Honey Method: In a pot, add the spices and ginger to the water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30-40 minutes - top up with water as you go. You can let the spices sit in the water for a few hours or overnight - it can take a little experimenting to get the flavours you like. Add tea, steep for 1-2 minutes, then add milk and heat. Serve with honey. The mix keeps in the fridge without milk for up to two weeks, or one week with milk.

In England there's a chain of shops called Holland & Barrett where you can get all ingredients like that. My partner goes there to get her aromatherapy stuff but I remember seeing stuff like that too(Also they do the nicest Liquorice you have ever seen in your life).
