How to Make Shaah Bigays Somali Spice Tea
- In a mortar and pestle, lightly crush 1 teaspoon of cardamom pods, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves.
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) to a boil. Add the crushed spices and simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add 2-3 tea bags of black tea (or 1 tablespoon of loose leaf black tea) to a teapot.
- Pour the simmered spice mixture into the teapot with the tea bags/loose leaf tea. Steep for 5 minutes to allow the tea to brew and absorb the spice flavors.
- Strain the tea into cups and enjoy! Optional: Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of extra spices.
