Green Cardamon Tea Latté |
|
Serves: 2
(Doodh caali Illaichi Chai)
Category: Teas
Makes 2 cups
This is one of the most basic breakfast teas. It goes equally well with parantha (griddle-fried breads) as it does with eggs and toast. With a generous serving of milk, this tea, like caffe latté, gives you a calcium boost. If you wish, you can make this tea with hot milk only--no water.
To prevent the milk from boiling over, keep a vigilant eye on the pot and stir it while it heats up, or the milk will stick to the bottom of the pan and may spill over as soon as it comes to a boil.

1. In a medium saucepan, put the water, milk, and cardamom pods and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the tea leaves and simmer until the color of the tea is to your liking--30 seconds for a lighter tea and about 1 minute for a more robust flavor.
2. Put 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom seeds in each of 2 teacups, and pour the tea through a tea or very fine-mesh strainer into the cups. Discard the pods and the tea leaves. Serve hot, with the sugar on the side.
