Notes
Use a narrow pot for a single serving. This reduces evaporation to make sure there is enough water for the spices and tea to expand. If your narrow pot is too narrow for your stove burner, place it into a small saucepan that does fit the burner. (see video)
Use fresh, whole spices for best flavor.
Use organic, loose leaf tea for best flavor.
