People like to combine two or more flavors
sometimes. Some of the most commonly
used flavorings are:
Ginger: A
winter favorite, all you need is a tiny slice of ginger, either pounded or
grated. Mix with tea while brewing.
Cardamom: One
pod for 1-2 cups (depending on how strong you want it), pounded.
Fennel
Seeds (Saunf): One fourth of a
teaspoon per cup of tea makes for a superbly aromatic blend, ideal for warm
days. It helps in digestion.
Tulsi: Also known as Holy Basil, tulsi adds
a wonderful flavor.
Mint: A nice substitute for tulsi leaves. Its gives
a minty flavor.
Cinnamon: a half
inch stick per cup is adequate to give a nice flavor.
Fennel
Lemongrass: A popular Thai
ingredient that adds fresh citrus flavor.
Spice
Blend: The most popular
blend contains five elements in equal quantities – fennel seeds (saunf),
cardamom, peppercorns, cloves and cinnamon. This masala is so strong that you
only need a pinch of it per cup of tea.
