Chai Zanzibar

Whole peppercorns give this tea recipe some kick. Actually, the cloves and minced ginger add their own extra kick as well. It's generally a strong tea recipe.

1 quart water
1/2 pint milk
1 tsp loose black tea
3 cinnamon sticks
1 inch chunk of ginger
2 whole cloves
5 whole peppercorns

Peel ginger root, and mince finely. Break up cinnamon sticks into small pieces. Combine all spices in water and bring to a boil.

Add milk, and keep heating until almost back to a boil. Stir in tea leaves. Let simmer for 1 or 2 minutes. Strain and serve hot.
