A very pleasant and rather unusual infusion of spices. I couldn't find any anise seeds, so I used fennel seeds instead, and it tasted lovely. The recipe is modified from David Scott's "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery". Posted in the hope of entering the North African and Middle Eastern Zaar Tag game

It was quite interesting. I liked the initial flavour but the aftertaste wasn't terribly pleasing for me, almost bitter. I might try it again but use anise instead of fennel. Maybe I didn't use enough sugar. I will try it again because I'm not sure if I like it or not

    This tea is a delight. It contains ingredients most serious cooks probably keep on hand yet the taste it yields is exotic as well as pleasing.

    What a nice taste this had! It reminded me of a tea blend I once had. Yes, it made a gooey glop, but I didn't drink that part! Loved the flavor! Thank you Syrinx!

    Oh Joy! I dearly love tea and also spice. I have been making cinnamon tea since forever but this is so much nicer in flavor interest. I made it this morning and am just about to finish my mug. I had everything on hand and it's so very simple to toss the spices into a pot and go about your business for a bit. I set the timmer for 5 mins and tried it then but then gave it 2 more. It was perfect with a touch of honey. I'm going to stock up on anise seeds next time I shop. And, oh yes, I put a paper coffee filter in the strainer and ran it through that. What a happy find this is. I would have never thought of adding caraway seeds!EDIT*-I'm staying with the 5 stars but I have changed one thing. I'm now useing cinnamon sticks in place of ground. I was in a rush yesterday and didn't want to wait while it slowly worked thorugh a filter so I chucked it all into a mug. It cooled off as I was busy and the ground cinnamon became one gooy glop in the cup (ewwwww). This doesn't happen with sticks.
