Authentic Moroccan Mint Tea

Authentic Moroccan Mint Tea

Does drinking a hot drink in hot weather cool you down? The short answer is: it depends. If you wrap up in a blanket and sit in the sun, it won’t, but drinking a hot drink, results in a lower amount of heat stored inside your body, provided the additional sweat that’s produced when you drink the hot drink can evaporate.

So, get your bikinis on and make Authentic Moroccan Mint Tea. It feels like your travelling to Morocco, the country of one thousand and one nights, even if you sip it with your feet in a bucket of ice cold water on your balcony.

The tea is to chose the right kind of tea. Check out the link below to see what I used.a
