Notes
- Feel free to use milk of your choice, like low-fat milk, full-fat milk, almond milk, soy milk, oats milk, or more.
- I have used black tea powder in this recipe, however you can even use tea bags. Also, you can use different types of tea to make this recipe.
- You can sweeten the cardamom tea using any sweetener of your choice, like white sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or even no sweetener will work!
- Also, you can add some black peppercorns or a cinnamon stick to enhance its flavour. However, I like the tea without these two so as to not affect the cardamom flavour.
