Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Loose black tea leaves
- 4 pods Green cardamom pods
- 2 teaspoons Sugar or honey (optional)
Instructions
Start by lightly crushing the green cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife to release their aroma.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and the crushed cardamom pods. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and add the loose black tea leaves.
Let the tea simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to steep.
Add the milk to the saucepan and gently stir to combine. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat again and let the tea simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Taste the tea and add sugar or honey if desired. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.
Strain the tea into cups using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and cardamom pods.
Serve the cardamom tea hot and enjoy its aromatic warmth.
