Ingredients
10 Green cardamom pods
¾ cup Cacao nibs
3 tablespoons Dried rose petals
1 cup Boiling water for brewing
Directions
Crack and lightly crush the green cardamom pods using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Pulse until the seeds are exposed and the blend is coarsely fragmented, taking about 10 short pulses to avoid over-grinding.
Add the cacao nibs to the cardamom and pulse together until both ingredients are coarsely broken into small pieces, about 10 pulses. The mixture should have visible texture, not be powdery.
Transfer the cardamom and cacao mixture to a small bowl and fold in the dried rose petals, stirring gently to distribute evenly throughout the blend.
Store the finished tea blend in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months until ready to brew.
To prepare a cup of tea, measure 1 tablespoon of the tea blend and place it into a tea infuser or small sachet.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the infuser and place it in a teacup. Cover the cup to retain the heat and steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the tea infuser, discard the steeped blend, and serve the brewed tea immediately while hot.
