How to make Colombian Spiced Tea

Why cooks start here

Colombian Spiced Tea is cooked the way Colombian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a colombian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Colombian Spiced Tea, a cherished staple on Colombian home tables, is a warm embrace in a cup. It is prepared with a generous touch, embodying the spirit of home cooking, where salt is judged by hand and fat is used freely. This is not a dish for special occasions but a comforting presence in everyday life, a nod to the Colombian way of turning simple ingredients into something special. The tea is a symphony of flavors, with the richness of tea leaves brewed to perfection, intertwined with a harmonious blend of spices and a hint of sweetness. Each sip offers a comforting warmth, the spices dancing lightly on the palate, while the sugar balances the boldness of the brew. It's an invitation to pause and savor the small joys of life, Colombian style.
