Como fazer Moroccan Mint Tea

Boil 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan over high heat.
Remove from heat and add 2 strong black tea bags (e.g., English Breakfast). Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
Gently rinse a generous cup (about 1 cup loosely packed) of fresh mint leaves under cold water to remove any debris.
Add the steeped tea bags, rinsed mint leaves, and 1 tablespoon of dried verbena leaves to the saucepan. Cover and steep for another 5 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup (or to taste) of granulated sugar. Stir well to dissolve. Remove the tea bags.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a teapot or pitcher.
To serve hot: Garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig and carefully pour the hot tea from a height into the glasses (the higher the better for a dramatic effect).
To serve chilled: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Serve over ice with a mint sprig.
