How does one enjoy a great cup of tea to warm up from the cold weather, you ask? In beautifully decorated glasses flavored with mint leaves, lemon or with cardimon sticks - perfect for warming the heart and fingertips in the chilly evenings.
Hospitality in the Arab world is second to none, and nowhere is it better expressed than in the age-old custom of serving freshly-brewed mint tea to every guest, whether the gathering be business or social.
Hot mint tea has been called the national drink of the Arab world. In the Middle East it is served in a traditional pot and glasses on a tray, and can be accompanied by an array of delicious sweets. Enjoy!

Do women and men sit together to enjoy their tea and sweets?
I know many traditions are different in the Middle East and with Muslims.
Men and women are separated unless they are “muhrim” (close relatives of the opposite sex).
