I love this drink Mandy. I made this for the ZWT 4 Photo Challenge and am glad I tried it. I got fresh green cardamom and it smells and tastes great. My family and I went to Greece for the 2004 Olympic Games and I brought back a bottle of Ouzo from that trip. This was a wonderful new way to enjoy it. Thanks for posting, Jan

Wow - what a great alcoholic iced tea recipe! We all LOVED this Mandy! I did not have cinnamon apple tea bags, but I did have Turkish apple tea - worked like a dream! The cardamom pods were the icing on the cake - just amazing! I am a great lover of any aniseed based spirits - so this hit the spot! Made for ZWT4 - thanks! FT:-)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
