Title: Morrocan Mint Tea
Categories: Polkadot Beverages Moroccan
Yield: 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! Danielle Grimbergen
