Bedouin Tea image

Bedouin Tea: A Wandering People's Enduring Comfort. The following recipe for spiced tea was, and still is, frequently enjoyed by the Bedouin. The Bedouin use the dried leaves of desert plants (habuck and marmaraya). In the U.S., dried thyme or sage can be substituted for the desert herbs for a similar flavor. Experiment with different herbs and spices until you find a recipe that suits your taste. Found at The Austerity Kitchen....posted by request. Note: As mentioned by reviewer UmmBinat in her comments, try wild oregano if you have access to it.

I'm not a big fan of cardamom, but I still enjoyed this tea. The saffron added a nice touch of sweetness.

The Bedouin tea was a bit too strong for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of tea leaves I use next time.
