Notes

You can boil the milk separately and just add it to the tea and serve without cooking the mixture further.

Sugar can be replaced with stevia, brown sugar, honey or jaggery. In case you are using honey or jaggery then add it at the end just before drinking the tea.

Stevia is very sweet, so make sure you add a little at a time.
