I assume this is what you're looking for:

Indian Railway Tea
Source: a handwritten sheet of paper from Eleanor Zelliot, professor of history at Carleton College. Who knows where she got it. :-)

For one quart:

2 cups water
3-4 whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon
3-4 cardamom pods (cracked open)

Bring these to a boil; let stand as long as possible. Then add to:

1/4 cup loose black tea (or 4 tea bags)

and let steep. Then add:

2 cups milk

to the tea-spice mixture and heat but do not boil. When hot, strain and add:

4 tablespoons of sugar (or a little less)

Stir and keep hot.
