Preparation

• Add all the ingredients except the ice cold water to a pot with 8 cups of cold tap water.
• Bring to a boil, simmer for one hour or until the liquid is halved, it's okay if it reduces a little more but please do cook it down.
• Sieve the green tea leaves out.
• Now get ready for a workout. Pour the ice cold water from a height into the tea concentrate.
• Pour back and forth from bowl to bowl or use a ladle to drop it back into the bowl from a height to aerate the tea. I suggest doing this in your sink or a prepped surface area since it does splash a bit.
• After a full 5-8 minutes of doing this the foam the tea produces will take on a rich bodied pink.
• Bring the tea mix back to a boil, the 'kahwa' is ready.
• To make each cup of tea: Take a ladle (about ⅓ of a cup) of the kahwa, bring to a boil, add ⅔ cup milk and a splash of water. At this stage, I like to throw in an extra cardamom pod too. Cook for 2-3 minutes and serve topped with a scant spoon of crushed pistachios.
