Green Tea With Indian Chai Spices

1. Place tea bags into a prewarmed large tea pot; set aside.

2. Crack open the cardamom pods using a mortar and pestle.

3. Discard the empty pods, but keep the tiny black seeds; add the remaining spices to the mortar and crush all into medium-size pieces.

4. Put the spices into a 4 cup heatproof measuring cup and add the boiling water; stir to mix, then let the spices infuse for 2 minutes.

5. Quickly pour the infusion into the teapot, straining carefully to prevent the spices from going into the teapot.

6. Steep the tea in the spice infusion for 2 minutes.

7. Add sugar to the teapot and stir to dissolve; strain the brewed tea into teacups and serve immediately.
