Title: Morrocan Mint Tea
Categories : Polkadot, Lisa, Beverages, Morrocan
Serving size: 4 Cups 1 1/4 pt (750 ml) water 3 ts To 4 ts tea leaves 20 To 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! Hope I've been of help!
