Hot mint tea is a favorite in Morocco, where it's served in small glasses any time of day or night. It's very sweet and packed with mint flavor. It is great cold as well; let the tea cool completely and then strain it into ice-filled glasses.

Time 5m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

gunpowder tea (or any green tea)
boiling water
of fresh mint (prefer short leaf bunch, with less stem)
sugar, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the tea in a teapot (allow 3 tablespoons for a large teapot, about 5-6 glasses). Pour over ½ cup fresh boiling water. Allow the tea to steep (let stand) for 10 seconds only. This will rinse the gunpowder tea and allow the leaves to open up. Pour out the water.
  • Add all the mint and sugar to taste. Pour fresh boiling water onto mix to fill the pot.
  • Allow the tea to steep for a few minutes. (If you prefer your tea strong, you may bring the full teapot to boil and let it stand for a couple more minutes.).
  • Pour 3-4 cups, but do not stir. Simply pour back into the pot, this allows the mint tea mixture to blend naturally.

Mint tea isn't just a drink in Morocco. It is a sign of hospitality and friendship and tradition. Because this drink is so popular, it is served all day long, after every meal and with every conversation. Moroccans take great pride in their tea and will often ask a visitor who among their group of friends makes the best cup of mint tea.
