Mint Tea

Mint tea isn't just a drink in Morocco. It is a sign of hospitality and friendship and tradition. It is served all day long, after every meal and with every conversation.

 

Ingredients

10 sprigs fresh mint,

3 teaspoons green tea

3 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste)

4 cups water

 

Directions

Boil the water and pour a small amount in the teapot, swishing it around to warm the pot. Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.

Let the tea brew for three minutes.

Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot. This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.

You want a nice foam on the tea so always pour with the teapot a high distance above the glasses.

If you do not have at least a little foam on the top of the first glass, then pour it back into the teapot and try again until the tea starts to foam up nicely.
