  1. It's nice with crushed peppercorns or powdered ginger, this is how my Somalian inlaws drink it :)
     
  2. I love somalian tea, I trink it very often, but never tried it with nutmeg. But it sounds nice, I'll try it. Somalian tea is really delicious, especially for cosy evenings at home.
     
  3. I LOVE nutmeg...this tea is delicious. I have a 4c pot & added 1TB sugar per cup & will cut back next time. It didn't get very dark. Thank you!
     
  4. Every since my brother gave me a cup of this Somalian tea from his family's restaurant, I've been <br/>hook every since. So I asked him to give me the recipe, however I can't get it to taste like the restaurant.This is a everyday tea.
     
  5. I`ve made teas like this before but not Somalian tea. I do wish amounts for water, milk and sugar was posted! First look at the nutritional facts will through you off when making this. I tried it without sugar But it did need a sweetener so I added honey my choice. I steeped with fresh ginger and peppercorns. This is very close to chai. Which does mean tea!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
