Preparation Steps
1
Phase 1
Place the tea in the pot, add a cup of boiling water, swirl, and pour it off to rinse away bitterness.
2
Phase 2
Add the spearmint and sugar to the pot and fill with boiling water.
3
Phase 3
Pour a glass and return it to the pot two or three times so the sugar dissolves and the tea aerates.
4
Phase 4
Let the pot rest for 3-4 minutes so the mint infuses.
5
Phase 5
Pour from a height into small glasses, each holding a fresh sprig of mint.
