How to Make Somali Tea
Boil the desired amount of water in a teapot or saucepan. (For example, 4 cups)
Add 4-6 black tea bags to the boiling water. Adjust the quantity to your preferred strength.
Gently crush 2-3 green cardamom pods to release their aroma and add them to the teapot.
Add 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger and 1 cinnamon stick (about 3 inches long).
Let the tea steep for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully meld.
Serve hot with milk and sugar to taste. Try adding a pinch of sugar before the brewing process for a smoother, caramelized taste.
