The Gahweh sada is the nasty nasty nasty coffee I was speaking of. Turkish coffee (to me) is the good stuff with sugar, kind of like cappuccino. There is a reason they serve the Gahweh sada in small portions....its coz nobody can handle any more than that!! Noor just laughs and laughs when I talk about the nasty nasty coffee.. his whole family even refers to it as "the nasty nasty coffee" ever since the day I went there and was served it for the first time....Yeah, I got to Jordan...slept a bit and then it was time to meet the family.. we go there and they offer me about a teaspoonful of this stuff in a teeny tiny cup that had a similar look as tea. Noor said drink this..you show respect by drinking it... So, I drink it. It was horrible! I handed the tiny cup back to them, being very proud of fulfilling my duty of respecting them (also growing hair on my chest from that horrid liquid)..and they GIVE ME ANOTHER CUP FULL!!! I drink it with a half smile on my face and give the cup back to them...they are all so happy and smiling about this. I think the torture is over with and I can move on with my life when..BAM, YES, ANOTHER CUP OF NASTY NASTY LIQUID ... I said, through a clinched grin, Noor....I dont like it..I don't want anymore...he just laughed and after I drank it he said..now, shake the cup...this tells them you're done and they won't give you any more. I just looked at him and shook my head (and the cup)... EVERY HOUSE WE WENT TO...we had to drink the nasty nasty coffee.. thank god he told me early on to shake the cup..I got really good at it afte the first day......ugggg

I know I learned to make tea in karachi and still to this day love it. I take half milk and half water (i prefer skim milk) and bring to a boil. Add the tea and let it steep. Add sugar to each cup as desired by the drinker. It's better than adding milk or cream to the tea like you would add to coffee.

So funny, amal! You would like coffee in Morocco. They have a thing for Nescafe and milk. It's very mild and, as a non-coffee drinker, I appreciate that!

I have found some indian stores, arabic stores, moroccan stores. I will go to one of those stores and get the tea. problem is its proble in arabic. < I will bring a friend to translate >.
please explain how you get 2 tea pots on top of each other. I am thinking Kettle here.
anyways, I think need a degree to make tea never knew it was so much to it.
while on the subject one thing. does your spouses like ICED tea?

oh, yeah, hillarious.....when you knowwwwwwwwwww you're going to get served liquid poison in every home you step foot in.....hysterical!! Nescafe and milk...yeah that sounds nice....

They actually sell special tea pots for this, if you are at an arabic store you will find them there. They come together and they are usually between $20-30 for the set. You may want to pick up some tea cups there too since he is probebly used having it in the smaller glasses. Most teas in the arabic store are not in arabic, mostly english. The kind we use at home is made by Sadaf, but the one with cardomon. He might not like that one, but they also sell it without the cardomon.


Yes my fiance likes iced tea, he would drink liquid caffine if he could.

I'm not a big fan of Gahweh Sada either but Jordanians LOVE it. My fiance can drink an entire thermos of it in one sitting. I will usually drink it once when offered but I know to shake the cup, LOL.

You dont have to have the two pots, just heat the water in (something) and add to the teapot yea the Nescaafe is very big, when out i think he ordered mine as (light) and i had a larger cup, his looked yuky and small cup (alot i know)

oh wowow..
I do have a tea set. I think its almost every girls dream to have a tea party with her man. lol
Ken loved tea parties with barbie ...lol
I will go look for the special tea pots. if you can. if you can post a picture. so I get an idea of what to get. please.. thank you in advance!

Sorry and i forget two of the sugar cubes for me which was different, at home only have the little packets or just normal loose sugar, had been while since had used the cubes.

OK ic just going by his instructions, having tea all day is not something im used to. Maybe he just does it this way as a quick way for himself.

We do that too, we refer to it as the "lazy way". There is a big difference in taste though, when I do have time to make it in the double tea pot I will.

holy cow. tea all day..
I guess its no diffrent than drinking ICED tea all day..



Thats cool. but, sometimes its wonderful to make your man happy. that why I am gonna look for one of them double tea pots.

oh yeah, and yes, Noor LOVED iced tea. He thought I was crazy when we were in Jordan and I asked if I could have iced tea instead. I don't do well when everything is hot... He promised he would at least try iced tea when he got here...so he's here for a couple days, we're sitting down for supper, and I pop out a cup of iced tea. He tries to back out and I don't give in..I force him to take a drink........ he's been hooked since. He can't get enough!!! He even told his family how to do it I've created a monster!

Also in the morning with/before the coffee he ordered some kind of fruit drink mixture and i have noooooooooo idea what that was, but was the normal routine

JP,

where is this place? I'd love to try it?

When I was in Jordan, I rarely saw people drink water. They like caffine and sugary drinks. Its either juice (which is never natural, only the sugary crap), pepsi, coffee, or tea. They are so used to the sugar and caffine that it doesn't even get to them anymore. If I have an espresso, I feel the effects for 4 hours.



Yeah, and its also really good when you are making tea for many people.

I love drinking coffee if I can get a hold of it..
I even eat the chocolate covered beans.

I asked him about the coctail place and he smiiiiiiiiiiiled so big.... he said, ohhh cocktails.. everybody knows this place hehehe

I love coffee too. Instant tea is like instant coffee to me. I don't always have the time to grind beans but I prefer it that way if I can.




Yeah its really good. My cousin's name is Rania and I call her Ranoush, so I would always "Yallah Ranoush, bde Ranounsh!"

LL (lion lioness),tell him to take you to Ream Shawerma on the 2nd circle.

hehe I was reading a bit too quick and read the bolded part as LaLa...so now lion lioness will forever be known (in my head) as LaLa ..... thanks jaypea

Amal- eventually everyone in MENA will have a nickname given by you!

I can't help it muhbuhpuh...I'm odd like that...everybody I meet gets associated with some kind of silly nickname in my head...it IS fun though it is a simple way to gain a smile from friends ...

I actually like mine, but you are the only one allowed to call me that!

what my nick name and make sure you add BUNNY to it..lol

don't cry- have a cookie-

Are those no-carb cookies?
