Thanks for asking

How do you make Arabic tea (the kind made from boiling mint leaves, water and sugar)?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Arabic tea." Boiling mint and sugar in water is not really "tea," but an herbal infusion.



Tea is made from the dried leaves of the tea plant. Green tea is unfermented dried tea leaves, as opposed to black tea which is fermented.



If mint is involved, then you probably mean Moroccan-style mint tea, which involves green tea leaves (preferably tea grown in Morocco and other Middle Eastern and North African countries), lots of mint, lots of sugar and water. Moroccan mint tea is made by boiling sugar, mint and green tea leaves in water.



To save time, there are many manufacturers of Moroccan mint tea bags, which already contain green tea and mint. Just dip in hot water, add sugar and you have Moroccan mint tea!
Reply:I found this for Arabic tea made with Assam:



1 tsp Assam black tea

3/4 tsp Sugar or to taste

4-6 Mint leaves

~ 16oz Water



Boil water with mint leaves.

Remove from heat, add black tea, and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and add sugar.

Enjoy.
