Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • strainer
  • measuring spoons
  •  serving cups

Ingredients
  

  • To whip up this delightful tea gather the following ingredients:
  • - 2 cups of water
  • - 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds
  • - 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
  • - 1 piece of cinnamon stick
  • - 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds
  • - 1 slice of fresh ginger for an extra kick
  • - 1 teaspoon of honey optional, to sweeten slightly

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Ingredients and Equipment

  • Start by assembling all your ingredients and equipment. Make sure your water is fresh and filtered for the best taste. Having everything ready to go helps speed up the process!

Step 2: Combine Water and Spices in the Saucepan

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, pour 2 cups of water. Add the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, the cinnamon stick, and the fresh slice of ginger. If you prefer some sweetness, toss in the teaspoon of honey at this stage as well.

Step 3: Bring to a Boil

  • Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. You’ll begin to notice the rich fragrance of the spices filling your kitchen—a sign that your tea is on its way!

Step 4: Simmer the Mixture

  • Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let the tea simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Keep an eye on the tea so it doesn’t boil over!

Step 5: Turn Off the Heat and Let Sit

  • After simmering, turn off the heat and let the tea sit for another 2 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to deepen further. Trust me, this is worth the wait!

Step 6: Strain and Serve

  • Finally, strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth into your favorite mug. Discard the solid spices and enjoy your freshly brewed African tea warm.

Notes

- Experiment with Spice Levels: Adjust the quantity of spices based on your taste. Start with smaller amounts if you’re new to these flavors.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh spices to ensure maximum flavor. Old spices can lose their potency over time.
- Consider Cold Brewing: For a refreshing summer option, you can steep the spices in cold water overnight in the refrigerator.
- Health Benefits: This tea isn’t just for weight loss. Its ingredients can help improve digestion and boost your immune system.
- Hydration is Key: Pair this tea with plenty of water throughout the day for optimum results in your health journey.
