how to start with traditional indian tea

hi i am a tea lover, when i went to myanmar six years ago i had phenomenal tea in the little street shops. i believe it was made with sweetened condensed milk? i grew up in a community that had many immigrants from india so i also grew up tasting delicious tea when i was little. i live so far away and have lost contact with them all:/

i’m going to sri lanka this year and hopefully india as well and am very excited for the tea! i have watched videos of indians making traditional tea and there is always this trays of spices.

i know i could wait until i visit those countries to learn more, but im impatient and really craving tea i can’t find anywhere near me. how would i go about finding out what those spices are and how to use them/make traditional teas? i would love to make it at home if possible.

sincerely a little white girl who really wants good tea.
