Mauritanain Tea prepared in moving truck
I had to travel the 500 kms from the
border of Morocco at Nouadhibou to Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania in this large
tanker trailer. All North African Arabs take huge quantities of high sugar tea like every two hours. I was wondering how many tea breaks
this trucks driver and h is assistant will take on this journey. But too
my surprise the assistant took out a small stole and a tea pot and made
tea in the moving truck. He had also improvised an empty engine oil can
as trey for setting the tea pot and glasses in a way that they remain
stable while truck is moving. The interesting part is that while
preparing Mauritanian tea, the tea is tossed from great high vigorously
from tea pot to the glass many times to create a thick froth. This guy
was able to do this quite effortlessly in a moving truck.
