HOW TO MAKE EAST FRISIAN TEA (RECIPE)

Like many countries in the world, having a tea in the afternoon is part of the East Frisian culture. They never miss this part of the day without having a tea.

Just like me, I would love to have a coffee whenever I have a visitor so the first thing I would offer is coffee or tea. Here is the recipe:
