Moroccan Mint Tea
"This beautiful recipe has been placed here for play in ZWT9 - Morocco. This recipe is from website: Redonline.co.uk.
Bring the exotic and aromatic flavours of Morocco to your kitchen table with this wonderful tea.
Mint tea is Morocco’s staple drink, found on every street corner and café being poured out of a silver jug into tea glasses.
Be sure to lift the teapot high above the cup while pouring.
To give it that authentic citrus flavour, the secret ingredient is dried verbena leaves.
Please Note: The site does not recognise dried verbena leaves as an ingredient. Please use 1 tbsp dried verbena leaves in recipe, as noted in directions. Thank you."

Lovely mint tea! Thanks~! -
Very light but still very refreshing with the superior flavor of fresh mint, which doesn't compare to mint flavored teas.I used an infuser pot as you can see in my photo. Thanks for sharing! Made for the FYC tag game.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
