Rooibos Mulled Wine

Everyone who knows mulled wine as a Christmas tradition appreciates the deep, warm feeling that imparts at holiday parties through its blend of wine and spices. Here is an alternative recipe, inspired by South African Rooibos! This variation involves slightly less cloves in order to allow the aroma of the Rooibos to express itself.
2/3 c. sugar
1 liter of red wine
2/3 cup of brandy
3 to 4 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
orange peel from 1/2 orange
Classic Tips Rooibos (bagged or loose will do)
1. Warm the wine in a stainless steel saucepan.
2. Thinly slice orange peel without any of the whtie and point it into small pieces. Add to the wine, squeezing in some juice.
3. In a separate pan, steep enough Rooibos for 10 minutes (bagged or loose) to make 2 cups of tea.
4. Add remaining ingredients.
5. Stir occasionally without letting the wine boil or simmer.
6. Shut off heat once the wine begins to steam and get ready to serve.
7. Ladle the wine out into mugs or glasses, leaving the seasonings behind.

Moroccan Tea
Tea is served during meal times in Moracco. This is the drink that is served when Moroccans have guests. Serving Mint Tea is considered as Hospitality. This is the Sweeter Tea, with the flavour of Mint.
How to Make Moroccan Mint Tea
Tea is cleaned with boiling water before being dried. This removes dust from shipping and supposedly makes the tea less bitter. Tea and boiling water are combined, and may be boiled further for several minutes. After that, sugar and mint are added and mixed into a teapot with a long, curved spout. The sugar may also be combined with the tea and water in the first infusion, rather than with the mint after brewing. Using a traditional curved spout allows the tea to be poured into tiny glasses from a height of approximately half a meter to form a foamy head. It is then returned once or twice to the teapot for a good mix.
