eve_aidaI got a chance to taste my very first arabic tea in a local arabic restaurant.
Only that, the tea was not real brewed.
Rather they served it using tea bag in a pot filled with hot water and sugar served separately in sugar cup.
The only different is that they put some fresh mint leaves.
And it's ready to drink!
Almost similar to this picture.
And I want to insert Nino pic holding tea cup but I couldn't find it (>.<)
On the first sip, it tastes slightly weak (close to tasteless actually).
And the mints give you light guava-ish flavor.
So I'm sure they don't have the same flavor as the original ones.
And I'm not sure how arabic drink it culturally wise.
Even so while having tea and casual talk, I drank a good half pot!
When I reached home, after half an hour, I felt so sleepy.
Most probably it's the after effect?
