The Pakistani way to make tea for
1 person:- **
Fill saucepan with 12 cups of water.(just in case we get guests)
-Place saucepan on the cooker and make sure the gas is at maximum.
-Add to water 2 spoons of PG Tips tea, 12 spoons sugar, half spoon
lechia (cardamom)
and sornf( fennel seeds).
-Bring water to boil(takes about 10 minutes).
-When water is boiling, turn gas to half and let it simmer for 15
minutes.
-After 15 minutes, turn gas to maximum until water is boiling again.
-When water is boiling add milk.(As were only making tea for 1
person, then 1 bottle of milk will do)
-Bring this to the boil.(takes usually 10 minutes)
-When it is boiling, turn gas to half and let is simmer for 10
minutes.
-After 10 minutes, take out metal teapot(if you use china teapot it
will crack from the intense heat of the tea)
-Put large tea strainer on teapot.
-Now the tricky part. Put gas to maximum and bring tea to boil again
-When boiling turn off gas, take saucepan and pour tea into metal
teapot.
(Do this in the sink as volcanic activity of the tea will cause it to
splash everywhere)
-Now pour tea in GLASS cups and wait half an hour for it to cool down
That’s 1 hour and 5 minutes to make a good old Pakistani cup of tea
