INTENDED Café in Abu Dhabi has added a Vegan Karak to its menu, offering a dairy-free, refined sugar-free version of the tea that anchors mornings and gatherings across the region.
The drink is built on slow-simmered black tea with an almond milk base, spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and saffron, and finished with a pinch of pink salt. Coconut sugar provides the sweetness. The café describes the result as vegan and gluten-free, and says the recipe is designed to keep the richness and warmth of traditional karak intact.
Priced at AED 16 per cup, the Vegan Karak is available all day. For those who want to bring it to the table rather than the counter, INTENDED also offers it in 1L and 2L flasks, positioned for office mornings, family gatherings and weekend get-togethers.
