Here is an old recipe that I haven't made in years, it came to mind when I made the Earl Grey Tea Loaf I pinched from on here today. I will have to bake a few and put them in the freezer for those days when we are looking for something to go with...

I just tried this tea and it was lovely with Earl Grey. Not liking the idea of ground cardamom in tea I switched the recipe to using the full pods and steeped them with my tea leaves. Originally posted for ZWT7, Africa. Modified from, www.congocookbook.com.

Tips:
- Choose the right cardamom pods: Look for whole, green cardamom pods that are plump and have a strong, aromatic smell. Avoid pods that are brown or cracked.
- Grind the cardamom pods freshly: Grinding the cardamom pods just before using will release the most flavor. Use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder to grind the pods into a fine powder.
- Use the right amount of cardamom: Cardamom can be a strong spice, so it's important to use it sparingly. A good rule of thumb is to use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom per cup of tea.
- Steep the tea for the right amount of time: The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. For a light flavor, steep the tea for 3-4 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep the tea for 5-7 minutes.
- Enjoy your tea! Cardamom tea is a delicious and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed hot or cold.
Conclusion:
Cardamom tea is a flavorful and aromatic beverage that can be enjoyed by tea lovers of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your tea light and refreshing or strong and flavorful, cardamom tea is a great choice. So next time you're looking for a new tea to try, give cardamom tea a try.
