MOROCCAN MINT TEA

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.

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Set out glasses for the tea.
  • A shot-glass is close to the slender glasses used in Morocco.
  • Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot.
  • Repeat.
  • This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.
  • Pour the tea.
  • 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.
  • Garnish with the remaining sprigs of mint.

MOROCCAN MINT TEA

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.

CLASSIC MOROCCAN MINT TEA

This classic tea recipe is made by steeping green tea with spearmint leaves. In Morocco it is often served more than once a day. Although Moroccan Tea Pots are many sizes, small pots contain about a half liter or six glasses of tea. A large pot would hold about a liter or about 12 glasses of tea. This tea is served hot but in glasses rather than in cups as most Americans would tend to drink it. The Moroccan glasses are a work of art on their own, they are so lovely. The following measures are for a small pot of tea. Prep time is to boil the water. Cook time is for steeping. The original version of this recipe was found at 'About.com'. If you can't get fresh spearmint leaves you can substitute 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of spearmint extract. Posted for ZWT 2010.
