Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar. Let the sugar melt and caramelize without stirring or disturbing it. Once it has turned a golden caramel, slowly stream in the hot water. (If some parts of the sugar clump and harden, don't worry they'll melt as the water boils).

Step 2

Add the tea, the cardamom, cloves, saffron, and ginger. Boil for 5-7 minutes or so until spices are fragrant, then add the evaporated milk.

Step 3

Lower the heat slightly until tea is at a steady, low simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until tea thickens slightly.

Step 4

Transfer the tea to a tea pot, using a strainer while pouring so you can separate the tea leaves and spices.

Step 5

Enjoy hot! Utter comfort.
