rest of the sugar. Add the ginger 1-2 min after that, or when the mixture
returns to a simmer. Wait for 15-30 seconds, then strain the tea into 2 cups.

pepper, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon. It is available at
most Indian food markets or you can create your own, depending on your taste.
