How to cook deliciously - Karak Chai

1. Stage

Heat water in a small saucepan until bubbles start to form around the edges. Add tea bags. Reduce heat to a simmer.

Lightly crush lump sugar, ginger, cinnamon, rose buds, and cardamom pods in a mortar. Stir into the pot. Simmer until the tea bags and spices have become saturated, about 3 minutes.
