my favorite tea

recipe is nice, but needs minor adjustments. Tea really has the flavor of Indian masala tea, but 4 minutes without boiling aroma of spices is not strong enough. I think that the water can be reduced. Also, all products can be mixed and cooked together. Indian tea is quite sweet, but it's a matter of taste. For a stronger flavor, spices can be ground and before you put in the tea. I know, in India do not put whole grains and twigs.
I had black pepper and put pink, although not quite the same, but I think that even without pepper spices will suffice.
