I just had the most amazing tea time at Souk Mubarakiya. I’ve been there a bunch of times before mostly for lunch but never actually sat at one of the tea places and had tea. This time though I did and I ended up trying three different flavors, the original, numi/lumi (lemon) and darseen (cinnamon). Who knew tea could be this good and at just 50fils a pop it’s a steal.
Note: Is it numi or lumi? I heard lumi but google says numi.

Loomi dude. Black Lime. You can easily make it at home. You can find them at any spice section in a co-op. Crush, boil, and filter.

remove seeds for best results.. take a cold water with crushed loomies and bring to a boil,, turn off heat and let set for 10 minutes
