- 6 cups water
- 7 green cardamom pods, crushed
- 6 strands saffron
- 3 tsp honey

Aaah ¤ a tea break! Tea time usually means a pause, a breather or smoko - an excuse to zone out for a while, to take a brief sojourn from your desk, to refresh the mind. What will it be, a coffee or tea?
Method

Strain and top with slivered almonds.
If you like, top up with warm milk.
