Tea with pine nuts

Plater of Tunisian 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.

## Service

[edit]

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.[citation needed]

Guests may also put the desired amount of pine nuts in their tea, which can be served without pine nuts.
