Cardamom Sweet Tea

I've learned two new cuisines in my year so far spent in the south: southern food, and indian food. This brings them together.

Bring two quarts of water , with the cardamom pods , to boil in a pot.

Remove from heat and add the tea bags.

Cover and let steep five minutes.

Remove the tea bags and the cardamom.

Put the splenda or sugar in a gallon pitcher and add the tea.

Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water , chill , and enjoy.
