Instructions

Prep the Teapot β:
- Start by rinsing your teapot with boiling water. This not only cleans the teapot but also warms it up, ensuring that your tea stays hot longer.
-
Combine Ingredients πΏ:
- Place the green tea leaves and green cardamom pods into the teapot. The combination of these ingredients will create a fragrant and flavorful base for your tea.
-
Add Boiling Water π§:
- Fill the teapot with boiling water. The hot water will extract the flavors from the tea leaves and cardamom, creating a rich and aromatic infusion.
-
Steep β³:
- Allow the tea to steep for just 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to steep it longer, as this can release bitter tannins that might overpower the delicate flavors.
-
Sweeten (Optional) π¬:
- Pour the tea into cups and add sugar to taste if you prefer your tea sweet. However, many enjoy this tea plain to fully appreciate the natural flavors of the green tea and cardamom.
-
Enjoy π:
- Sit back, relax, and savor the soothing and aromatic Cardamom Green Tea. Perfect for calming an upset stomach or simply enjoying a peaceful moment.
This Cardamom Green Tea is a quick and easy way to bring a touch of Pakistani-inspired flavor to your day. Whether you enjoy it sweet or plain, its soothing properties and delightful taste make it a wonderful addition to your tea repertoire.
