Touareg Tea

Touareg Tea is kind of flavoured tea prepared in northern Africa and in Arabian countries.

One teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of green tea (usually strong Chinese tea, e. g. Chun mee or Zhu cha) and one leaf of Moroccan Nana mint are used for 0.25 l of beverage. Water should be at the boiling point, brewing time is about 5 minutes. Tea is poured into glasses from height in order to form a froth.

Several alternative preparation procedures exist, with different brewing times for tea and for mint. Touareg is sometimes sold as a ready-to-cook mixture of tea and dryed mint, which is easier to store and to prepare, but with flatter taste.
