Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add all the ingredients except the ice cold water and milk to a pot with 8 cups of cold tap water.

* Step 2

Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 hours, topping up if you need to so that the liquid doesn't drop below ¼ of the original level.....

* Step 3

Run the tea through a sieve into a large bowl, press the tea leaves to extract every last bit of flavour and discard the tea leaves.

* Step 4

Pour back and forth from bowl to bowl or use a ladle to drop it back into the bowl from a height to aerate the tea. After a full 5-8 minutes of doing this the foam the tea produces will take on a rich bodied pink Bring the tea mix back to a boil, simmer for five minutes. The "kahwa" is ready.

* Step 5

To make each cup of tea: Take a ladle (about ⅓ of a cup) of the kahwa, bring to a boil, add ⅔ cup milk and a splash of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes and serve topped with a scant spoon of crushed almonds and pistachios
