This Cardamom Orange Blossom Iced Tea is a sophisticated and refreshing non-alcoholic drink, perfect for warm days and entertaining. Strong black tea is brewed with crushed green cardamom pods, which impart a uniquely warm, citrusy, and slightly floral aroma. Once cooled, it's sweetened lightly and enhanced with a subtle splash of orange blossom water, a flavor evocative of Middle Eastern gardens. Served over ice with a fresh mint sprig, it's incredibly moreish and fragrant. It's a beautiful alternative to sugary sodas or plain iced tea, adding an elegant touch to brunches, picnics, or afternoon relaxation.
