Morrocan mint tea

4 Cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1¼ pint (750 ml) water
3 teaspoons To 4 ts tea leaves
20 To 30 spearmint leaves
4 Sprigs of mint

Directions

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!
