Discover the recipe for authentic Moroccan mint tea, a refreshing and aromatic drink made with fresh mint leaves and green tea. Perfect for any time of day, this tea brings the taste of Morocco into your home.
Moroccan Mint Tea Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Chinese gunpowder green tea
1 large handful fresh mint leaves (or regular mint)
1-2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
4 cups boiling water
Instructions: How to Make Authentic Moroccan Mint Tea :
1.Prepare the teapot and rinse the tea leaves :
Boil the water and rinse the teapot with a small amount of hot water to preheat it.
Add the green tea leaves to the teapot and pour about 1/4 cup of boiling water over them. Stir the teapot for a few seconds, then discard the water. This removes any bitterness and cleans the tea leaves.
2. Add the mint and sugar for flavor :
Place the fresh mint leaves and sugar in the teapot along with the tea leaves. For a more authentic Moroccan flavor, you can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference.
3. Boil the Moroccan tea :
Fill the teapot with the remaining boiling water and let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like the flavor.
4. Blend the tea for the perfect taste :
To mix the flavors evenly, pour a cup of tea, then pour it back into the teapot. Repeat this process several times.
5. Serve and Enjoy :
Pour the tea from a height to create a foam on the surface, a traditional Moroccan way of serving. Serve in small Moroccan teacups and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
