Adeni Tea

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 6 tbsp sugar
• 16 cardamom pods
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves
• 4 black tea bags

Steps

1. Put the sugar, crushed cardamom pods, cinnamon stick and cloves in a saucepan. Mix them over medium-low heat.
2. When the sugar begins caramelising, pour in the water and leave it until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3. With the sugar fully dissolved, add the tea bags and bring the water to a boil. Lower it to a simmer as soon as it boils, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. At the end of 5 minutes, pour in the evaporated milk. When the tea comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Strain and serve the tea straight away to prevent it from becoming bitter.
6. Serve it without delay to keep it hot.
