Afghan Cardamom
Hospitality and tea play a very important role in the lives of the Afghan community.
Kahwah, the traditional spiced green tea of Afghanistan, is deeply rooted in Afghan culture.
Made using quality Chinese Gunpowder green tea and organic cracked green cardamom pods, this tea creates a smooth and refreshing brew. With the careful addition of a single saffron strand, the tea becomes somewhat umami in nature, imparting a dark sweet scent and a fuller bodied, highly aromatic and complex cup.
The perfect tea to be paired with savoury cuisine. Or serve the traditional way with sweet sugared almonds, sugared chickpeas or dried fruits.
Preparation:
Use 1.5 teaspoons of Afghan Cardamom tea
Add one saffron strand
Steep for 3 minutes at 90*C
Pour the brewed tea into glasses or cups and serve with sugar cubes.
