Pro Tips
- For an extra strong spice kick, you can lightly crush the whole cloves before adding them to the water.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and evaporated milk to suit your personal taste. Some prefer it sweeter, others less so!
- If you don't have tea bags, loose black tea works wonderfully too. Just use a fine-mesh strainer.
