Cardamom Sweet Tea

Description: I've learned two new cuisines in my year so far spent in the South: Southern food, and Indian food. This brings them together.

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon water
• 4 family-size tea bags (I recommend Luzianne)
• 10 -12 cardamom pods
• 25 g Splenda sugar substitute (or 200g sugar)

Steps:

1. Bring two quarts of water, with the cardamom pods, to boil in a pot.
2. Remove from heat and add the tea bags.
3. Cover and let steep five minutes.
4. Remove the tea bags and the cardamom.
5. Put the Splenda or sugar in a gallon pitcher and add the tea.
6. Fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water, chill, and enjoy.
