Pomegranate Sunrise Recipes

Steps:

• Put the lime juice and cardamom pod in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and crush the pod with the handle of a wooden spoon (if using ground cardamom, just mix together with the lime juice). Add the brewed tea, pomegranate molasses and a few ice cubes to the shaker and shake well for 15 seconds.
