What is special about these drinks is that they are very healthy as they are made with fresh fruits\/ herbs.<\/p>\n<p>In this first part of the post, we\u2019re going to focus on four different <em>hot drinks<\/em> <strong>\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0628\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0627\u062e\u0646\u0629 <\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(Al-mashroob-aat\u00a0 As-saakhina). There are four common drinks that are perhaps less known to non-Arabs. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mate (<\/strong>Matteh) \u0645\u064e\u062a\u0650\u0651\u0647<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Matt is looks like green tea but tastes different and its made up of different herbs \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0639\u0634\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0629 too. It is made by adding boiling water to a mixture of ground dried leaves and herbs. It can taste slightly bitter \u0645\u064f\u0631\u0651\/strong, but one can add a flavour \u0646\u0643\u0647\u0647to it, such as sugar \u0633\u0643\u0631, thyme \u0632\u0639\u062a\u0631 , wild mint \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0639\u0646\u0627\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u064a, ginger \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0646\u062c\u0628\u064a\u0644 , etc. Although mate contains caffeine, it\u2019s often helps one to relax and is believed to be effective for migraines \u0627\u0644\u0635\u064f\u0651\u062f\u0627\u0639.
