Steps:

• Bring the water, cinnamon, cloves and allspice to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Stir in mint leaves. Remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Strain into cups. Sweeten with honey if desired.

Steps:

• Steep 1 tea bag, 6 mint stems and cayenne pepper in 2 cups of boiling water.
• Strain the mixture, keeping only the liquid.
• Add the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon stick to the mint mixture and refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, remove the cinnamon stick and dilute the mint mixture with equal parts of water.
• Serve in a tall glass with ice, add a fresh mint sprig and a lemon slice for garnishing.

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil. When it's boiling, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Turn off the heat.
• Drop the tea bags and the orange peel into a teapot. Rip the mint leaves and drop them in too. Pour the water into the teapot, put the lid on, and allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
• When you're ready to serve, pour into small glasses, using a tea strainer. If you can, try pouring a good few inches from the glass - this cools down the tea, and creates a light foam on top that is traditional. You can also chill this tea and serve over ice on hot days. Refreshing, and great for your digestion!

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, mint (stems and all) and 1 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep 30 minutes. Discard the mint; refrigerate the syrup until ready to use.
• Put 2 quarts water in a pot and add the tea bags. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat, cover and let steep 20 minutes. Discard the tea bags. Pour the tea into a pitcher and add the mint syrup to taste. Refrigerate until cool.
• Serve the tea over ice. Garnish with lemon and mint, if desired.

Steps:

• Boil the water and pour a small amount in the teapot, swishing it around to warm the pot.
• Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.
• Let the tea brew for three minutes.
• Set out glasses for the tea.
• A shot-glass is close to the slender glasses used in Morocco.
• Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot.
• Repeat.
• This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.
• Pour the tea.
• You want a nice foam on the tea so always pour with the teapot a high distance above the glasses.
• If you do not have at least a little foam on the top of the first glass, then pour it back into the teapot and try again until the tea starts to foam up nicely.
• Garnish with the remaining sprigs of mint.

Steps:

• Place the tea bags and mint sprigs into a large pitcher. Pour boiling water over them, and allow to steep for about 8 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags and mint leaves, squeezing out excess liquid. Stir in sugar until dissolved, then stir in the orange juice and lemon juice. Pour in the cold water. Serve over ice cubes, garnished with orange or lemon slices.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine water and mint and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; let steep 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (discard solids) into a teapot or container, and mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons honey to taste. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Combine water, brown sugar, ginger root, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, bay leaves, fennel seeds, and peppercorns together in a pot; cover and boil for 20 minutes.
