Recipe ingredients and directions:
Moroccan Mint Tea
Makes 4 cups
apporx 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!
