Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine water, tea bags, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, ginger, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Remove from heat and strain the tea mixture into a large measuring cup or bowl. Discard the solids and tea bags.
Stir in honey or sugar until dissolved.
