Mint Moroccan Iced Tea and Quinoa

After another lovely afternoon spent at Bess's, I was lucky enough to have a few more glasses of her fantastic Mint Moroccan Iced Tea. She made it to go along with her giant bowl of quinoa, a grain-like crop that looks like a mix between rice and couscous. Here are the recipes!
