Method

  1. 1 Roast the semolina in ghee butter over low heat for exactly 12 minutes, until the seeds turn golden brown and have a fragrant chestnut aroma.
  2. 2 Twelve minutes of roasting is crucial: under-roasting will give the tea a raw, powdery taste, while burning it will make it bitter.
  3. 3 Heat the milk with 150 ml of water and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely, then keep it warm.
  4. 4 Pour the hot milk into the semolina pan in a small stream while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  5. 5 Cook for another 6 minutes until the mixture lifts off the sides of the pan, then sprinkle with raisins and roasted almonds.
