A warm and aromatic Somali spiced tea, perfect for cozy moments.
Lightly crush the cloves, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle.
Crushing the spices releases their essential oils, enhancing the flavor of the tea.
In a saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil.
Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the crushed spices to the boiling water and reduce the heat to simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the spices to infuse their flavors into the water.
Pour the spiced water into a teapot and add the tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
Cover the teapot to retain the heat and enhance the steeping process.
Strain the tea into cups and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and aroma.
