The lives of second-generation Algerians in a Paris housing project, the basis of the award-winning film."Writing that is both dazzling and economical and a moral and aesthetic elegance that does not judge. The greatest attribute of this extraordinary first novel is its thirst for life."--Le Quotidien de Paris

Tea in the Harem | Mehdi Charef

I made a pot of Maghrebi tea with gunpowder green tea, dried mint, and tree wormwood, which is in season right now and traditional in winter. Wormwood makes it bitter, but gives it an interesting, more complex taste. It's normally served hot, sweet, and foamy, in a glass.

Dilara Link to Tinariwen's video of Iswegh Attay (song with music subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoPPMktXCEI showing traditional tea-making. They‘re an Algerian Tamashek (Tuareg) band. Their tea is 100 times foamier than mine… (edited) 2d
