Kuwaiti tea

Kuwaiti tea (Arabic: الشاي الكويتي‎; "Shay al Kuwaiti") refers to several varieties of tea traditionally served in that country.

A glass of cinnamon tea

One is a sweet cinnamon tea. This tea is served with breakfast or during the traditional tea ceremony.[1] The tea is created by putting water in a boiler together with cinnamon sticks and sugar. When the tea is ready, it is served with nuts, dried fruit, cookies or dates.[2]

Another type of Kuwaiti tea is saffron and cardamom tea. This tea is usually served after lunch. It is a Kuwaiti tradition to offer a guest to a house a cup of tea or Arabic coffee.[3]
