Moroccan mint tea

Mint tea is national in the Kingdom of Morocco. Tea is drunk very sweet, strong, mainly from small glasses of 100 and 50 ml. It is also interesting that tea is drunk with mint, a herb called maramia from the sage genus, rarely with lemon. Tea is an obligatory end of a meal with meat dishes, it helps to avoid heaviness in the stomach and digestive problems ... Of course, to make Moroccan tea you will need a special tin teapot with an elongated spout, which not everyone has. But who wants to feel at least a piece of Morocco at home without such an attribute of the Moroccan tea ceremony, use his favorite home teapot :)
