Mintea Couscous Vegan

i found this recipe on the inside cover of a box of morrocan mint tea from the numi company. the other day i made up a small batch of this: recipe 484658 and it worked well in the recipe. moroccan mint is spearmint, by the way. skip the butter (which is one of only a few minor changes) to keep this vegan.
