Put the water, sugar and tea into a teapot and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2–3 minutes.
Add the canned milk, and if using ground cardamom, add that too. Bring again to a boil.
Then immediately remove from the heat (before it rises and comes out of the teapot). If using ginger, add now then strain. Enjoy piping hot.
Store cooled tea in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave and re-stir before serving.

Yes—maintain a 3:1 water-to-evaporated-milk ratio and adjust sugar (roughly 1 TB per cup of finished tea) to your sweetness preference.
