 | | From a travel in North Africa, this researcher found the local very ceremonial way of preparing the fabled "thé à la menthe" (green tea + mint):
1) Boil water
2) Rinse teapot (usually a metal teapot) with a little of the boiling water
3) Put leaves of green tea in teapot
4) Add some boiling water and immediatly throw it away (to "rinse the tea")
5) Repeat 4 until the water coming out is almost transparent
6) Fill teapot and wait a few minutes
7) Add sugar (solid block of brown sugar if possible)
8) Add fresh mint leaves (generously)
9) Serve a glass of tea and pour it back on top of teapot
10) repeat 9 several time (this releases the aroma of the mint)
Then serve (traditionally in small glasses) and enjoy!

 | | Hi Oberon,
It's perfectly ok to use this in the entry, if you find it useful (as long as you give me some credit  )
Actually, I should have posted this in the CWW, since that's where I found your entry to begin with, but somehow I posted in the wrong conversation (which betrays me as being still a newbie  )!
I'll repost the same suggestion in the CWW, then, so other people there in the thread can see it...
