How to brew loose-leaf cardamom tea properly
By Nadia Rahman · Jul 8, 2026 · 3 min readLoose cardamom tea rewards a little care. The difference between flat and fragrant is mostly water temperature and timing.
The method
Use freshly boiled water rested for thirty seconds, one teaspoon of leaves per cup, and steep for three to four minutes. Crush a pod or two extra if you like the cardamom forward.
With or without milk
For milky karak-style tea, simmer the leaves directly in half water, half milk for five minutes. Loose Ahmad blends stand up to this better than bagged tea.
