authentic east friesian tea - ostfriesische tee
(1 rating)
My mother is from a town in the East Friesian region of Germany - Ostfriesland. When we would visit our relatives there, we'd always get tea made in this very particular way. When you drink it, you get the creamy taste at first, then just tea flavor and finally a sweet finish. I always bring some of the special kind of rock sugar, known as Kluntjes, when I'm back in that area. It lasts for a long time!
