     Title: Morrocan Mint Tea
Categories: Polkadot, Lisa, Beverages, Morrocan
     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!
