The origins of dulce de leche are not quite known, but it is said to have originated in Argentina in 1829. In the midst of a war, generals from each side decided to meet and end the war. General Manuel de Rosas was not at his tent when General Lavalle arrived from the opposing side. Genereal Lavalle was tired, and lay down to sleep in the tent of General de Rosas. A woman nearby was preparing la lechada, a sugary milk, for the camp. When she went to go tell General de Rosas and saw the enemy in his tent, she ran to get soldiers as she was unaware of the intended treaty. General de Rosas arrived just in time to prevent the soldiers from disurbing the sleeping General Lavalle. By the time the woman remembered la lechada cooking it had already become a thick dark brown substance. A brave soldier tried out the jelly and found the taste to be amazing. And so dulce de leche was born.

This tea is amazing! It smells and tastes like a cinnamon bun!! It has enough natural sweetness that I was just about finished it before I realized I hadn’t added any sweetener, but it’s not overpowering. |

Even if you haven’t traveled the world, you likely know about the storied place mint tea holds in Moroccan culture. Just the name Moroccan Mint brings to mind the labyrinthine markets and smoky bazaars of Marrakesh, the sand-swept deserts and the jade oases of the countryside. Is there any sight more marked of hospitality than the standard mint tea pour, starting at the base of the cup and rising to head level in one continuous, unbroken steaming stream, spilling nary a drop?
