My masala tea has been coming out very week. I use 1 cup of nearly boiling water, 2 cracked cardamom
pods, 2-4 whole cloves, and 2-3 peppercorns, and 3+ tsp of Darjeeling tea leaves, which is more than
the recipe calls for. I would use more of the aromatics, but they are very expensive (more than
$2/ounce for the tea and the cardamom). I steep these in a tea pot for about 8 minutes, by which
time the water is usually fairly cool? I'm going to search for a cheaper source of ingredients, but
in the meantime, how can I make my tea stronger? Can I boil some of the ingredients?
Thanks, Adam
