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 like Al Kbous Original Tea) and 1 teaspoon of Adeni Tea Spice. Let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse beautifully.
- Now, add 1 cup of whole milk (like Icim Whole Milk) and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference, using Bal Küpü Powdered Sugar if you like) to the saucepan. Stir everything well to combine.
- Bring the mixture back to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally; this step is key to making the tea wonderfully rich and creamy.
- Finally, stir in 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk (Al Fajr Sweetened Condensed Milk works perfectly). 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 your serving cups to remove the tea leaves/bags and spices.
- Serve your warm and fragrant Adeni Tea immediately. Enjoy every comforting sip, my friend!
Pro Tips
- For an extra layer of aroma, you can add a couple of whole cardamom pods or a pinch of ground cardamom along with the Adeni Tea Spice.
- Don't rush the simmering process after adding the milk; it's what gives Adeni Tea its signature creamy texture and deep flavor.
