Place everything into your crockpot. I use a 4 quart. If you have at least a 2 quart crockpot, it will work just fine.Place and float the cinnamon sticks, cardamon pods, and tea bags on top.Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until heated through.Press the tea bags against the side of the crockpot with a spoon to release the last bit of tea-goodness and ladle into mugs.
