Adeni Tea with Milk (Shahee Mulaban)

July 25, 2010 by lamyaalmas

This is an afternoon, after lunch, tea ALL Adenis enjoy as a family. Very easy to make, and very very delicious. ONLY to be found in Adeni homes !!!!

Here is the recipe for four glasses.

You will need:

1) 3 cups and and a 1/2 of water

2) 1/2 cup of evaporated milk (unsweetened)

4) Sugar to taste (i use 1/4 of a cup)

5) 6 whole cardamons crushed

6) 1 tblsp of loose tea leaves ( If you have someone coming from Yemen have them bring you Kabus tea leaves, and if not use PG Tips that you can get from any South Asian or Middle Eastern Store)

In a pot boil the water, milk, sugar, half of the cardamon. Let it boil for about 10-15 minutes under low heat until the mixture turns a little yellowy (as the sugar carmelizes).

Then add the tea leaves and leave until the desired tea color (some like it dark and some like it light, just remember that the darker it gets the bitter it gets as well). I like it in between.

Turn it off. Place the rest of the crushed cardamon in a thermos and pour the tea into it using a sieve to catch the loose tea leaves.

Serve hot.

Hi Lamya,

I am addicted to Adani Tea. Do you know if it has any health effect since it contains evaporated milk?

  Salaam Br. Ali–
  
  I have no clue. But moderation in everything is key, so in moderation should be okay in excess everything ends up being harmful any way. You can substitute the evaporated milk for regular milk if you like–have had many do that. If you find out let me know :)

When we made this tea in Yemen, we would use red tea. When I was living in Oman, we would also make red tea and it gives it the most perfect taste, as opposed to when you use black or green tea. However, now that I’m in the States again, I can’t find red tea anywhere!
What type of tea do you use to make this?

  PG tips works out well [ the loose tea] if you can find it in any of the Indian [South Asian] stores in your area–you can also order it online. Or you can get some tea from Yemen called Kaboosa. But any loose tea will work, but the best are those tha I just previously mentioned.
