Ingredients:
3 cups Water
1/3 cup Green Tea Leaves
1 Cinnamon Stick
2-3 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Sugar
1-2 tsp Ground Cardamom

3. Strain the liquid, then gracefully pour it between bowls to cool it down and intensify its gorgeous hue. You can also skip this step and use ice cubes instead.

6. Serve hot or over ice and enjoy!
