The taste is so aromatic compared to just regular coffee.
- 1-2 Cardamon pods
Grind up fine, put in cup - 1-2 tsp of coffee
To fill out the coffee - Hot water, and maybe milk
If you really want to you can put the ground cardamon into a small siv (can’t spell) and pour the water around it instead of having it in the bottom.
My Syrian friend made this coffee for me and he said that you mix the coffee beans and the cardamon pods, so I tried just cardamon in hot water which was nice by itself, and now I’ve upgraded the experience of Syrian Coffee with both the cardamom and coffee.
Do you get the black tea as leaves, or in regular tea paper-pouches? I’ll try the basic chain first and tryout all the different variety.
1 for subtle taste 2 for intense taste : )
I went for extra intense. It was definitely drinkable, but it became a cardamon drink with coffee rather than coffee with cardamon. I will go for subtle next time :p
I get the loose black tea from the indian shop, it comes in this form. I look at the ‘packaged date’ and choose the freshest one.
I have this one at the moment:
I think that the more traditional tea is the Assam tea. But any black tea would work.
