Sinai Black Tea Recipe

This Middle Eastern tea recipe comes from the Bedouins
of the Sinai desert. It is a wonderful experience to sit on
the beautiful blue beaches of Sinai and to drink this sweet,
warm beverage. But don’t think you have to go all the way
to Sinai to enjoy it! You can easily prepare this special tea at
home and even outdoors.

I also prefer using less sugar, but original recipe does use the specified amount. So everyone is free to make their own choice

4 Tbsp sugar is way too much. I add 2, and tea was still sweet
