Afghan Culture Recipe Book Kahwah Recipe A staple Afghan tea, Kahwah is mild and fragrant, and recipes tend to differ from family to family. Level-up your afternoon tea break and give this delicious saffron-infused blend a try. Serves: 4 cups Cook time: 10 minutes Ingredients 4 cups of water 3 teaspoons green tea 4 cardamom pods, cracked 4 strands of saffron 1/2 inch piece of cinnamon 1 tablespoon sugar or honey Method Add the cardamom pods, cinnamon, and sugar to the water and bring it to a boil. Allow to stay at a boil for 5 minutes and then remove from the hob. Add the green tea and saffron, put a lid on the pot and allow to brew for 3 minutes. The saffron will make the liquid a light orange colour. Strain into a teapot, and serve - we think Goash-E-Feel are the perfect accompaniment.
