Ingredients
Boiling water - 1 cup
Nigella seeds - 1 tbsp
Honey - 1/2 tsp (optional)
A dash of Vanilla extract
Milk or cream (optional)
Preparation
1. Crush the nigella seeds using a hammer or a mortar and pestle. Please do not powder it finely. You just want them to release the essential oils.
2. Take the boiling water in a tea kettle and put the crushed seeds into it. Cover the kettle and let it rest for 8-10 minutes.
3. Filter out the seeds and discard the contents.
4. Flavor with milk, cream, honey or vanilla as desired.
Tip :
1. Please do not allow the seeds to steep in the water for a long time, it gives a bitter taste.
2. If you have a teaball, place the crushed seeds in it and the teaball in the cup. After 8 minutes, take out the teaball and serve the tea.
