Super great tea from India

This recipe comes from a friend who met an Indian woman on a train in India who gave it to her. A truly authentic chai recipe. Bring the water, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom to a boil in a pot. The longer you simmer it, the better the chai will be. Then add the black tea and let everything cool. Now add the milk and heat again, but do not bring it to a boil again. Add the sugar and stir well.
