Take your favorite black tea. I like to use Earl Grey.
I mix the following into a teapot-
1 teabag, a cap of vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, 2-3 pods of green cardamon whole, a dash of star anise, a dash of cloves, a little ginger and a couple of turns of pepper (optional), sugar to taste and milk or half and half. Be sure to strain the tea because of the pods. Interesting enough, it follows some of the same spices as gingerbread cookies. Must be why it is so comforting.
