Cinnamon Haze

To create this blend, our Tea Masters balance briskly robust East African teas with the addition of real cinnamon pieces, plus our exclusive cinnamon flavouring. Creating a a brew with a uniquely aromatic, spiced character. Unsurprisingly, it’s been a popular blend in the Ahmad Tea range for over 20 years now.

INGREDIENTS

5-6 Medjool dates (or according to taste).

360ml (1 ½ cups) milk of choice (the creamier the milk, the creamier the pudding)

2 tbsp tahini

3 tbsp cornflour

4 Ahmad Tea cinnamon haze tea bags

120ml (½ cup) boiling water

Pinch of salt

 

Garnish

Ground toasted pistachios

Pomegranate seeds

Place the tea bags in a mug and pour in the boiling water. Allow to steep for 5-10 minutes, then remove the tea bags and leave to cool a little.
Add everything to a high-speed blender along with the brewed tea and blend until smooth.
Pour into a saucepan, then cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously for 7-10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Take off the heat and transfer into heat-proof serving dishes. Leave at room temperature until cool enough to transfer into the fridge.
Chill for 2 hours until set. Garnish and enjoy!
