Loose black tea, cardamom (I don't crush them), Cinammon (bark preferred), and clove. Mix 1:1 water and milk (2% or whole) or just go with less water if you like that. Medium heat so it doesn't burn The problem with stores is that they aren't fresh ingredients and there's too much sweetener and other garbage. I find powdered Cardamom and real green cardamom pods to be completely different tastes.
