Tea is very popular in the Middle East. This is one that I've been making for a long time and not only does it taste great it has a mild soothing quality. It's certainly nothing medicinal but a few peaceful mins is a day can't be a bad thing. The cooking time is for steeping. Ingredients:
3 cups water |
2 teaspoons anise seeds |
3 inches cinnamon sticks |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 black tea bags |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients, except tea bags, and bring to a boil.
2. Allow to simmer for three minutes.
3. Strain.
4. Pour liquid into serving cups with one tea bag and allow to steep for three minutes or to desired strength.
5. Serve hot.
