Ingredients

• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoons Loose black tea leaves
• 4 pods Green cardamom pods
• 2 teaspoons Sugar or honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by lightly crushing the green cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife to release their aroma.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the water and the crushed cardamom pods. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and add the loose black tea leaves.

Step 4

Let the tea simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to steep.

Step 5

Add the milk to the saucepan and gently stir to combine. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat again and let the tea simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

Step 7

Taste the tea and add sugar or honey if desired. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.

Step 8

Strain the tea into cups using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and cardamom pods.

Step 9

Serve the cardamom tea hot and enjoy its aromatic warmth.
