Answer 3

I do not particularly like cardamon so I make my own version with rose buds and cinnamon.

Tea bags (one for each person)
Boiling Water
Rose buds, a stick of cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar)
Sugar and Milk to taset

Make tea as per normal, steep longer for a stronger brew
Add rose buds and cinnamon to the hot brew
Add sugar and milk to taste
Good when chilled too

Hope you like it!
