    That’s fine. I prefer tea mixtures most of the time anyways.

    Mixing green tea (like Gunpowder) with some moroccan mint (add sugar to your liking) tastest mighty fine. And the mint grows just fine in a pot on the balkony.

      Oh yes, Tuareg tea is great! Especially when the nana/spearmint is fresh!

        Tuareg tea

        Didn’t know that it was called like that. Nice! :D

        Also, I should try to get some nice fitting glasses. Just for fun.

          Usually people in north Africa use small tea glasses and a simple chinese teapot made from sheet metal for making Tuareg tea.

            Well, yes. That would be what those glasses and tea pots actually look like.

            But some colourful stuff is more fun.

              There are a lot of colorful/plated glasses of that format, just don´t put them in the dishwasher because they are often not dishwasher safe (like the ones I had). Have fun!

                Thanks, I will. :D

                And since the only dishwasher I ever used is my kitchen sink, I doubt it’ll be much of a problem.

      If you may ever feel an interest towards collecting your herbs, apple tree leaves are a tea that’s totally slept on.

      Oxidise/ ferment them like one would black tea by freezing them to burst open the cells. Then thaw them and roll them in your hands into little balls or cigars. With enough pressure so that water comes out (your hands will turn yellow from the juice). Then rest these balls for a few minutes under cover, roast them quickly in a pan (not until it smells toasty, just to lose some moisture quickly) and dry.
