Sugar-Free Thai Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tea bags
2 cinnamon sticks
2 whole star anise
2 whole black cardamom pods
6 whole cloves
4 cups water
6 (1 g) packets sugar substitute (I prefer aspartame, but saccharine or sucralose work equally well)
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except sugar substitute and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain into a pitcher. Add the sugar substitute and stir until dissolved. Chill until very cold.
To serve, pour 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk over ice in a tall glass. Pour over 6-8 oz of iced tea, stir and enjoy!
