Cardamom Tea is a spiced, flavourful tea made by blending cardamom & ginger with tea powder & with or without milk. Cardamom Tea provides a relief from common cold and gives a soothing sensation after drinking it. Cardamom Tea is a must try at home as an alternate to the regular tea and particularly during sick times.
Cardamom tea is my fav though I usually prefer coffee to tea but hubby loves this tea or even masala tea. And the flavoured tea is something he loves to have. I was waiting to get a local tea glass to click this and post it here and finally here I am with this post. Hot tea with bajjis or biscuits….yummm!!
I am just back from a 2 day trip to my perimmas place, we had been there for a function and had a great time. Though it was a hectic back to back travel for the past 2 days, meeting relatives, cousins and their family after quite some time is always refreshing which compensated for the tiredness. Just back after waving mittu and sitting with my cup of tea writing this post.

📖 Recipe
Cardamom Tea
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raw milk
- 1.5 tsp tea powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 small cardamom
- 1/2 inch ginger chopped roughly
Instructions
- Peel the skin and chop the ginger roughly. Then crush ginger and cardamom together in a hand mortar and pestle. Set aside. Boil milk until its frothy.
- Then add sugar, give a quick stir for the sugar to dissolve. Then add crushed ginger cardamom, tea powder and simmer for 3-5 mins.
- Once it starts to boil and you get the required tea strongness and color, switch it off. Filter using a tea strainer and serve hot.
- I love good day biscuits / marie with Ginger Cardamom Tea.
Notes
- I usually use 3 roses tea or sometimes Taj Mahal. You can use your preferred tea brand.
- You can also add sugar at the final stage after switching it off.
- Adjust tea powder and sugar according to your taste.
- Sometimes I add 2-3 tbsp water as hubby prefers it that way but I love it only with full milk.

I tried with Ginger ,…. but the moment i added Ginger the Milk was Spoiled ! … how to safe guard against this ?…
SHARMILEE J
Oh this sounds new to me….Not sure why it happened. Did you check the milk, was it fresh?
lalsub
Make tea with water, then add hot milk. That is the proper way. First add cardamom- ginger mix to 3/4 cup water, let it infuse, add tea leaves, boil for half minute, add hot milk, boil anothr half minute, shut heat, let it all blend and come together, strain, add sugar or organic gur powder( special taste), then drink your cuppa while it is hot.
SHARMILEE J
Thanks for taking time to elaborate your method of making tea…..But each one have their own way of making it as per our preference…I usually don't like to add water to tea so follow this method.
