Preparation
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 2-3 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons of loose-leaf black tea) and 1 teaspoon of Adeni Tea Spice. Let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Add 1 cup of whole milk and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference) to the saucepan. Stir well.
- Bring the mixture back to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the tea become rich and creamy.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Continue to simmer for 2-3 more minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
- Carefully strain the tea into a teapot or directly into serving cups to remove the tea leaves/bags and spices.
- Serve your warm and fragrant Adeni Tea immediately. Enjoy every comforting sip!
Pro Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly crush a couple of green cardamom pods and a whole clove or two to add along with the Adeni Tea Spice.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and sweetened condensed milk to your personal taste. Some prefer it sweeter, others less so!
- Don't let the tea boil too vigorously after adding the milk, as it can curdle. A gentle simmer is key for creaminess.
