What Is Cardamom Tea
Cardamom tea is a delightful beverage made by brewing cardamom pods in hot water or milk and other ingredients like black or green tea. Combining the distinct taste of cardamom with tea, this drink offers a captivating experience for your taste buds
You will need the following items:
Cardamom pods (or ground cardamom)
Black tea or green tea (optional)
Star anise (optional)
Honey (optional)
Hot water
A teapot (or saucepan)
A tea strainer (if using whole cardamom pods)
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
For a single cup of cardamom tea, you will need 1 cup of hot water and 3-4 cardamom pods or 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom. If you’re using whole cardamom pods, use a spoon to lightly crush the pods to release their flavor.
Step 2: Boil water
Bring a cup of water to a boil in a teapot or saucepan. Once the water has reached boiling, add the cardamom pods or ground cardamom (and star anise) to the water. If using pods, make sure they are slightly crushed before adding them.
Step 3: Steep the tea
After adding the cardamom, lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. This will help extract the flavors from the cardamom, creating a more robust and flavorful tea. Now you can remove it from heat and add one teaspoon of black or green tea if you want, and let it brew for a few more minutes.
Step 4: Strain and serve
If you used whole cardamom pods, strain the tea through a tea strainer to remove the pods. Pour the tea into a cup and enjoy it hot. You can also add sweeteners like honey or sugar to taste.
