A delightful twist on traditional East African tea, this recipe combines aromatic cardamom with a creamy milk base for a comforting beverage.
Heat the water in a saucepan until it reaches a near-boiling point.
Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
Transfer the hot water to a teapot and add the tea leaves and cardamom pods.
Lightly crush the cardamom pods to release more flavor.
Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes.
Cover the teapot to retain heat and enhance steeping.
Strain the tea into cups to remove the tea leaves and cardamom pods.
Use a fine mesh strainer for a smooth tea.
Add honey, sugar, and milk to each cup, adjusting to taste.
Stir well to ensure the sweeteners dissolve completely.
Serve the tea warm and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cardamom for an extra touch.
