["Place the tea bags, bay leaves, crushed cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick in a teapot. Pour in the boiling water, and let the mixture steep for about 2 minutes. Remove the tea bags but let the spices steep 5 minutes more. Strain and serve hot.", "Betty says an additional 1 1/2 cups boiling water can be added to the spice mixture in the teapot as it is drunk, but to me it's missing something (tea).
