My most comforting drink during tea time is cardamom tea. I love cardamom favour so much so I do have Elachi cream biscuits. Otherwise I don’t take Cream biscuits. So When I visited Spice Market / spice souk in Dubai I could not resist my itch to buy Cardamom. They had different quality and it was so fresh the whole market filled with a nice aroma of fresh spices. This is my go to recipe these days whenever I make tea for myself. Even though it is simple recipe I still wanted to share my version of it. Enjoy!
