I said I would look into the tea and lo and behold; here we are. It's very easy to make with a very unique flavor. I had two of my friends try it as well and while we all found it appealing, it is somewhat difficult to put your finger on. I would say it tastes lightly of molasses or maple syrup. It has a mellow sweetness with a deep, cooked flavor. It is often compared to slightly burnt sugar but in more of a caramel way then a burned way. It's commonly sweetened with honey when drunk but I think if one put a dried date in the pot while it was being made or even while it's soaking afterwards it would give a delightful flavor. Here's how you make it though:
Put one teaspoon of whole fenugreek seeds in a pot per cup of water. Boil vigorously for five to ten minutes, remove from heat. Allow the seeds to seep in the water for another ten to fifteen minutes, strain them out, and drink while still hot(you can refrigerate it for later if you want but I don't know how good it tastes cold).
