The Elegance of Evening Tea Along the Nile:

As the sun sets over the timeless Nile, embark on a leisurely cruise with Top Ten Egypt Tours. Picture yourself on a luxurious boat, surrounded by the ancient wonders of Egypt. Settle into the serene ambiance as you prepare to experience the elegance of Evening Tea, a tradition that goes beyond the ordinary.

Indulging in Sweet Delights:

One of the most popular blends is called “Egyptian Mint Tea,” which is made by steeping fresh mint leaves in hot water along with black tea leaves. The mint gives the tea a refreshing and cooling taste, making it the perfect beverage for hot summer days.

Another popular blend is “Sahlab Tea,” which is made by adding sahlab (a thick, creamy drink made from orchid root starch) to hot black tea. This blend has a rich, creamy texture and a sweet, nutty flavor that’s sure to delight your taste buds.

The Desserts

No evening tea ritual is complete without a selection of delicious desserts. Here are some traditional Egyptian sweets that you should definitely try:

1. Basboosa: This sweet treat is made from semolina, honey syrup, and nuts. It has a crumbly texture and a nutty flavor that’s both sweet and savory.

2. Om Ali: This dessert is made by layering phyllo dough, milk, sugar, and nuts in a baking dish, then baking it until it’s golden brown. It’s often served warm with a drizzle of honey syrup on top.

3. Kanafeh: This dessert is made by layering shredded pastry dough (known as kataifi), cheese (usually akkawi or ricotta), and syrup in a baking dish. It’s then baked until it’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

4. Mahalabiya: This creamy dessert is made from milk, sugar, and starch (usually cornstarch or rice flour). It has a smooth, velvety texture and a sweet flavor that’s both rich and indulgent.
