This has nothing to do with the British cooking queen, Nigella Lawson, but with the spice seed, nigella (sometimes called black cumin, but unrelated to cumin). I've tried it, I like it (with the dash of vanilla), so I'm posting it here.
Ingredients:
1 cup water (almost boiling)
1 tablespoon nigella seeds
milk (optional) or cream (optional)
honey (optional)
1 dash vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
1. Crush the nigella in a mortar and pestle; doesn't have to be too fine, you just want to release the essential oils.
2. Place them in a teaball, and the teaball in your cup.
3. Pour hot water over and allow to steep 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Remove teaball and discard contents.
5. Flavor with milk, cream, honey or vanilla as desired.
