ofskfe:Libyan Jewish women drinking tea in traditional clothes. Photo by Orr Shalom.Tea drinking is a much-loved, often elaborate tradition in Libya. Family members sit cross-legged on a carpet to laugh, chat, and discuss life events over small glasses of tea. The tea is typically thick, and is served in three rounds; at the end of the third round, roasted peanuts and almonds are infused into the tea. The distinctly Libyan-Jewish striped fabric worn by the women in this photograph is usually adorned with heavy jewelry and fastened with a crescent-shaped brooch. -- source link
