Tea with pine nuts

Tea with pine nuts, or in French, Thé aux pignons, is a traditional Tunisian culinary specialty.

This type of maghrebi mint tea (or geranium tea sometimes in winter) is typically served during occasions such as weddings, family meetings or meetings between friends.

[1][2] The pine nuts can often be replaced by almonds or roasted peanuts.

A few teaspoons of pine nuts are placed in each glass before pouring the hot tea.

The pine nuts float if the tea is very sweet; otherwise, they remain at the bottom of the glass.
