2. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon stick to a large mug
3. Lightly crush the green cardamom and star anise in a mortar and pestle
4. Combine all spices other than cinnamon in a steeping basket or similar and place in mug
   Alternatively, you may add the spices directly to the mug and then strain them out before drinking
5. Carefully fill mug with boiling water and allow spices to steep for 4 minutes
6. Add tea bags and allow to steep for a further 4 minutes
7. Remove tea bags and spices and stir in milk or milk alternative to taste
