It is entirely possible that Moroccan-style mint tea is the best thing in the world. Ever. 1 peppermint tea-bag + 1 green tea bag, teapot, boiling water, brewed for at least 5 minutes (preferably more), drunk from a small glass with sugar to make as sweet as you want.

Seriously. Best. Thing. Ever.

Between a list of chores that takes up an A4 page, and J's reading for his viva, it could be a long weekend. Anyone out there? Doing anything interesting? Got any good banana muffin recipes? Mine always seem to burn...

If you want it more flavoursome get sprig or two of fresh mint, bruise the leaves and drop into the tea pot..

In Morocco, unless there's at least a handful of mint in there, it's not real tea! But since it's hard to keep mint in in case I randomly want tea (our flat kills growing herbs - basil's the only thing hardy enough to survive), peppermint teabags do a pretty fair imitation. I'm fairly sure that British mint tastes different to Moroccon mint anyway.
