Moroccan Mint Tea

A little taste of more Morocco. We had mint tea almost every night that we were there. The ingredients were very simple, sometimes just the mint, sugar, and hot water...but this is the way we best recreate what we had in our travels. It was minty sweetness. J bought a beautiful teapot and serving glasses while we were in Morocco but I don't have it at our current location for me to post a picture.

Ingredients:
Green tea (we like to drink it at night, so...decaf :P)
Fresh mint sprigs
Sugar!

Directions:
Boil water and brew tea according to the directions, adding gently crushed mint sprigs to the cup.
Remove the tea bag or infuser when tea has finished brewing, remove excess mint leaves after a few minutes as well. Add a generous amount of sugar. This drink is like dessert! :)

Also, enjoy some additional pictures from around the house. I thought the colors went will with my mint tea photo essay. ;)
