Tunisian Mint Tea with Pine Nuts

I will always remeber the tea I used to drink while traveling in Tunisia: a delicious mint tea with roasted pine nuts! This is partly why I have planted mint in my garden, to be able to do it at home. Here is everything you will need to make your own… I prefer to grill my pine nuts than to roast them but you also can roast them if you prefer.

Ingredients:

• 4 fresh mint branches
• 60 g sugar
• 80 cl water
• 1 green tea bag
• 4 tablespoons pine nuts

Recipe:

Boil the water and wash the mint. Place the mint with sugar and tea bag in a teapot. Add the hot water and mix with a spoon. Cover and let infuse 5-8 minutes. During this time, grill your pine nuts in a frying pan on the burner at medium temperature. Serve the tea in cups with 1 tablepoon of grilled pine nuts.
