Shaah (Somali Tea) and Somali Sweets Shaah 2 teabags 6 cardamom pods 6 cloves 1 cinnamon stick 5 thin slices of ginger 2 cups water 1/4 c. sugar 1 cup milk 1. In a kettle, add the teabags and the water. 2. Crush the cardamom, cloves, and the cinnamon using a pedestle and mortar. 3. Add the crushed spices, ginger, and sugar to the kettle. 4. Once it has boiled, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. 5. Add the milk and gently bring to another boil. NOTE: * I use a little metal strainer when pouring into a teapot. That way I don't get any pieces in the pot. * You can omit the sugar and milk while cooking and just have it on the side. Somali Sweets Shushumu Kac Kac
As Salaamu Alaikum , Amina I just love Somali food. I have dear friends that love to invite me to their home to eat it all the time, maa shaa Allah. But now, thanks to your recipes, I'll be able to make some of my favorites right in my own kitchen as well. Shukran for your contributions, please keep them coming. One little thing, you might want to include the number of servings for each recipe. This will help the cook gauge the amount needed , say to feed her guest during Ramadhaan. Ma'a salaama
