1. Combine the soy milk, sliced crushed ginger, crushed cardamom pods, crushed cloves and cinnamon stick in a large heavy saucepan.

2. Heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk is steaming and just starts to simmer.

3. Reduce the heat to low and keep it at a gentle simmer for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, without letting it boil hard or scorch on the bottom.

4. Stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.

5. Remove from the heat and let it steep for 3 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a pitcher, discarding the spices and ginger.

6. Pour into cups and serve hot.
