RECIPE:

Ingredients:

2 cups water
2 teaspoons black tea leaves (preferably loose leaf)
1 tablespoon condensed milk
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

Some variations of Adeni tea from Yemen do include cloves. Cloves can be added along with cardamom and cinnamon to enhance the flavor of the tea. If you prefer the taste of cloves in your Adeni tea, you can add a couple of whole cloves to the tea along with the other spices mentioned in the recipe.

Instructions:

In a small pot, bring the water to a boil.

Add the black tea leaves to the boiling water and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat and add the condensed milk, sugar, and ground cardamom (if using) to the pot.

Stir well until the ingredients are fully combined.

Simmer the tea for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Remove the pot from the heat and strain the tea into teacups or a teapot.

Serve the Adeni tea hot and enjoy!

Note: Adeni tea is traditionally served in small glass cups, and it is common to pour the tea back and forth between the cup and the pot to create a frothy layer on top.
