Iced masala tea

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
• 6 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 3 star anise
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 8 bags of black tea
• 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup milk

Preparation:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the peppercorns, cardamom pods, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and 4 cups of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags, and let steep for 5 minutes.
2. Discard the tea bags, strain the tea mixture into a large measuring cup, and discard the spices. Let the tea cool at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, then chill completely in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
3. For servingFill 4 tall glasses with ice. Pour the iced tea into them. In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the condensed milk with the milk until smooth, then pour 1/4 cup of milk into each glass. Stir and serve immediately.
