Moroccan Mint Tea
Makes 4 cups
approx 1 1/4 pints (750 ml) water
3-4 tsp tea leaves
20-30 spearmint leaves
4 sprigs of mint
Boil the water in the kettle.
Warm the teapot. Put the tea and mint leaves in and add the
boiling water.
Leave it to brew for 2 or 3 minutes.
While brewing, warm tumblers by rinsing in hot water.
Put one sprig of mint in each tumbler.
Pour tea into each tumbler through a strainer. It is normal
to add sugar lumps to the teapot, but it can be added tot the
tumbler to taste after pouring.
Now this is the original Moroccan mint tea recipe. I drink an awful
lot of tea, lemon or mint, and this is my quick mint tea version:
Make tea as you do normally; cut some sprigs of mint from the
plant in the pot on the balcony, rinse under the tap, put into
a big mug, pour tea into mug: Enjoy!
