Steps:

• Bring water to boil in a 3-4 quart pot.
• Add cloves and boil for one minute.
• Add cardamom pods (to better release flavor, crush or split pods), peppercorns, cinnamon sticks and gingerroot.
• Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours (longer = stronger).

• At this point you can cool the tea, strain it and refrigerate. I usually let it cool over night before straining.
