Experience
Best Enjoyed
Hot off the stove with the sweet smell of aniseed filling the air; though iced tea is an equally tasty treat. Add your desired sweetener to give the liquorice flavour an extra kick.
Best Served
Traditional, dainty tea glasses displayed on a decorative tea tray. Pour small amounts of tea at a time, keeping the rest of the tea hot in the teapot, and then just keep the tiny refills flowing.
Pairs Well With
Enjoy the deep, soothing tones of this liquorice delight on its own, with your favourite bickies, or make like the Syrians and pair it with traditional cookies such as barazek and ka’ak.
Tea Time
Morning, afternoon and anytime between: all times are good for this tea. Although the evening is only for those souls who can handle a late-night caffeine buzz.
