It’s impossible to be a guest in Tunisia without being offered something to drink. That drink is typically tea .
There are several stories about the origins of tea in North Africa, and most of them conclude that the beverage was first brought to Morocco 🇲🇦

*yesterday, a friend from sousse region of northwest Tunisia invited me to her house and she made a thermos of piping hot mint tea and a plate of cookies . it was really delecious and well presented *😍

TUNISIAN MINT TEA RECIPE

Ingredients :
2 cups of water
2 tea bags or 2 tsp loose black or green tea (amount of tea can also be adjusted to how light or dark you like your tea)
2-4 tbs sugar (or to taste)
A large handful of mint sprigs
Pine nuts (raw or lightly toasted) (optional)

Note: For those unaccustomed to North African tea, it may seem overwhelmingly sweet. Please adjust the sugar quantity according to your tastes.

Preparation:
Put water in a small pot or heat-safe tea pot, add tea and sugar, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add all the mint leaves and let boil for another minute, then take off the heat and let sit for about 5 minutes. Strain liquid into your teapot.

Put about 1 tsp of pine nuts in each glass. Then pour strained tea into the cups. You can also garnish with a fresh mint leaf in each cup.
