- 2 cups whole milk
- 4–5 whole green cardamom pods
- 3 tea bags (black tea recommended)
- 3–4 teaspoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Required Kitchen Tools
When making Afghan Tea, having the right kitchen tools helps make the process smoother:
- Small Saucepan or Pot: For simmering the milk and cardamom together with tea bags.
- Mortar and Pestle (or back of a spoon): To gently tap cardamom pods and release their flavor.
- Tea Strainer (optional): If you prefer a smoother tea without cardamom pieces floating around.
- Serving Cups or Glasses: Afghan tea is often served in small glasses or teacups to preserve its warmth and aroma.
