MINT TARRAGON TEA
This is one of the many recipes I came up with on my own while experimenting with my various tea herbs. I bet you didn't realize tarragon would go nicely in a tea? It's flavor seems perfectly suited to blend with mint. So, if you have some tarragon up in your pantry now you have another use for it! This tea is best chilled, but it's good hot too. Note: I've listed things in teaspoons because this website won't let me list it in parts, but it's technically in a ratio, so you can make whatever quantity you want.

Mint tea isn't just a drink in Morocco. It is a sign of hospitality and friendship and tradition. Because this drink is so popular, it is served all day long, after every meal and with every conversation. Moroccans take great pride in their tea and will often ask a visitor who among their group of friends makes the best cup of mint tea.
