The Senegalese have a special tea that I like but it is a very unique taste that a lot of the other students don't like it. The strong taste is partially hidden by the immense amount of sugar they add to it though. It is always served in these shot glasses and when they make it they fill one and a half of the glasses with sugar and dump it in the tea, so the tea is literally half sugar. The traditional way of drinking it is having three rounds, and each round the tea gets sweeter and sweeter. My brother also always adds mint to the second batch.
When they make it they always pour from really high up and I have not yet seen one person spill even the tiniest bit, but when I tried it I had a lot of trouble not spilling most of it.
This is my brother making some attaya at the beach. It is really a big social thing, someone will make the tea and then they pass around the glasses to everyone.
