Black Tea with Cardamom

Black Tea by Unknown

Bought at a local Persian market, scooped out of a giant bin, this is basic black tea (Ceylon, maybe?) with bits of cardmom — sometimes whole pods — scattered through it.

Last night I prepared a Moroccan feast — meat pies, carrots, gazelle horns, etc. — and served this with dessert. I hadn’t thought of cardamom with tea. Used to drink it with Lebanese coffee in Manhattan all the time. It’s a nice not-quite-chai flavor. Great after dinner.

Sweltering day, padding around in my linens at last, on house arrest on call for work. Refusing to turn on the A/C — why start now? — I pour a pot of this hot tea with cool cardamom. It’s pretty poor quality tea, but the spice is a great touch.
