Omani Breakfast Tea

By

In most Omani homes, a cup of this tea is an essential breakfast item. So, I obliged. I only had some black tea, so I used that. Big mistake. Riley asked, "What kind of tea is this, Mom?" Oh, I just had some black tea. "Wait, you're giving us caffeine and sugar before we go to school?!?" Yes. 

He is so my child. He is my rule-follower. Dylan, on the other hand...

3 C water
3 T organic granulated sugar
2 t loose tea
1 t ground cardamom)
1-1/2 C milk

Put the water, sugar and tea into a teapot and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2–3 minutes. Add the milk and ground cardamom. Bring it to a boil again. Then immediately remove from heat and strain into a mug. Enjoy piping hot.

    Surely nice article. I have read it carefully and benefited from it so much. Thanks. I also like tea, but I like Oolong Tea better. I suggest you to write more about oolong tea and that will surely attract more visitors.

    My boyfriend brought yesterday some tea with cardamon from Oman. I had it with milk. I believe it to be: oolong, cardamon and a flower... he said cammomile, but it seems more like violets to me. It's absolutely delicious!! If I can't find it anywhere, I plan to give it a try, mixing the ingredients myself, because I cannot see the jar he brought lasting too long :-)
    In a previous trip, I tried cardamon in a different type of tea in Marrakesh, which I enjoyed a lot, but this late one is far superior.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."
