Lightly crush your cardamom pods in mortar in pestle until they open up.
In small saucepan add cardamom, tea bags, and water. Bring water to a simmer on medium heat and allow the tea bags to steep for 2-3 minutes before adding in milk.
Add milk* to pot and allow the tea to steep on medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes in milk then remove the tea bags.
Using a ladle lift and pour tea back into pot a few times to help aerate the tea. To serve pour through tea strainer to catch cardamom or milk solids into a teacup. Add in sugar, as you desire.
Serve alongside with sweets or maybe a savory treat, like samosas!
Enjoy!
Notes:
*Whole milk is easiest to come by but if possible I would recommend using evaporated milk because it has a more concentrated milk flavor. You can also mix whole milk and evaporated milk if you prefer.
