A delightful twist on traditional Afghan tea, this recipe incorporates a touch of cinnamon for added warmth and depth.
Lightly crush the cardamom pods to release their aroma.
Crushing the pods helps release their essential oils, enhancing the tea's flavor.
In a saucepan, combine the cardamom, cinnamon stick, and black tea bags with the milk.
Using whole milk gives the tea a creamy texture, but you can use alternatives for a lighter version.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
Strain the tea into serving cups and enjoy warm.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and warmth.
