Method

6 steps · 10 minutes

Crush the cardamom pods with the flat of a knife so the seeds are exposed. Whole, they give up almost nothing.
Simmer the spices in the water for 5 minutes before the tea goes anywhere near it — spices need heat and time, tea needs neither.
Take it off the heat, add both tea bags, and steep 4 minutes. Two bags in this little water is deliberate; it is going over ice.
Lift the bags out at 4 minutes without squeezing them. Squeezed, they release tannin and the whole thing turns bitter.
Stir in the erythritol while it is hot, then cool it completely — pouring it warm over ice melts the ice and waters it down.
Pour over ice and float the cream on top over the back of a spoon.
