The Middle East as a whole enjoys this tea, which I first discovered during a recent trip to the UAE. Karak chai, roughly translated as “strong tea,” signifies tea. It is different from Masala chai in that it uses fewer spices, slightly more tea, evaporated milk, and lump sugar. I make a large quantity in the morning and consume it all day long. You can enjoy it either cold or hot.

Reviews
I really enjoyed this easy breakfast! I made it just for one by cooking 2 oz sausage, and then scrambling 1 seasoned egg. I put 1/2 oz grated cheese on 1/2 of a low carb tortilla, layered the egg and then sausage, topped it with 1/2 oz cheese, and then folded the tortilla over all of it. I browned it and crisped it up as written. Delicious!
These were very good. I seasoned the eggs with salt and pepper before cooking them, which I think helped boost the flavor a bit. Next time I’d add some green chilies to the egg mixture for a more southwest flavor or maybe sauté some onion and pepper with the sausage. At any rate, they taste great and are easy to make.
We really enjoyed these. I had mine on keto-friendly tortillas while my family enjoyed them on flour tortillas. I felt like maybe it could use a little more flavor (maybe dip it in salsa or something similar) but they were still delicious as is. Very flexible dish, not to mention quick to prepare!
