Anyone who has spent time in any North African country has stories about mint tea so sweet that the glass sticks to their lips, says Zadi. His version, though a strong tea, is light on the sweetening. Ingredients:
4 cups water |
1/2 cup packed mint leaves |
2 tablespoons loose-leaf chinese gunpowder tea or green tea |
6 tablespoons sugar or mild honey, or to taste |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a vigorous boil.
2. Tear mint leaves and put in a teapot. Gently bruise mint with a wooden spoon to release oils, then add tea leaves, sugar, and boiling water. Cover and let steep 10 minutes.
