Cardamom Tea (Elakka Chaya)

I love tea. I can’t even imagine a day start with without having a Tea. Since I have been using cardamom for my tea It’s giving a refresh and makes my mind fresh and relaxed.. and makes my day start with full of energy.
Also note that Cardamom Tea may help treat indigestion, prevent stomach pain, and relieve flatulence.

Cardamom Tea
What You Need:
2 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of water
3 cardamom pods
4 tsp sugar
4 black tea bags
What to Do
Pour the water in a pot and bring to a boil uncovered.
While the water is boiling add crushed cardamom into water. 
When the water reaches a boil, add the sugar and the teabags and let it simmer until the water is rich and dark in color (about 5 minutes). Add the milk and let the concoction come back up to a boil. Again, let it simmer about 5 minutes. Don't boil too much as the tea will impart a bitter flavor
Strain into cups while piping hot.
Serve hot. Makes about 3 cups of tea and is best shared with your friends/family/roommates.
Note:The amount of milk and water can vary according to personal preference. If you want it more milky, increase the quantity of milk and lessen the water and if you want it less milky reduce milk and increase the quantity of water.
If you like my special tea please share…Smile
