INSTRUCTIONS
Yes I do have the recipe, it's from the Curry Club's "Favourite Middle
Eastern Recipes" book by Pat Chapman, as follows:
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. Makes 4 cups.
