What is karak
Karak is a strong spiced milk tea. It came to the Persian Gulf from South Asia and became an everyday drink there: people have it in the morning, after lunch and over long conversations.
Traditional karak is simmered on the stove for a long time, with tea, spices, milk and sugar prepared separately. We spent more than a year on the recipe to get the same rich, creamy and spicy taste without boiling. Everything you need is already in the blend.
Ingredients and taste
Black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, milk powder, powdered sugar.
Cardamom opens first, cinnamon warms, and the milk base makes the cup soft and full-bodied. Pairs well with pastries, dates and chocolate.
