Rose & Cardamom Warm Milk

This is the most elegant thing you can make in a microwave. Warm milk infused with cardamom and a tiny hint of rosewater. It's floral, soothing, and feels like something from a Persian tea house. Perfect for winding down before bed.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 250ml milk of choice
• 2 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• A drop of rosewater (optional, but lovely)
• 1 tsp honey

Method:

1. Gently heat the milk with the cardamom pods until steaming. Don't boil.
2. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
3. Strain out the cardamom. Stir in the honey and rosewater.
4. Pour into a mug. Sip slowly.

Why it's gut-friendly: Cardamom is a carminative, aiding digestion and reducing bloating. Rosewater is traditionally used for digestive comfort. Warm milk is soothing.
