Moroccan Mint Tea
10 Springs of fresh mint, plus extra for garnish
3 teaspoons green tea
3 tablespoons sugar
4 cups water
- 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 tea, then pour it back in the pot
- Repeat 2 or 3 times (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 springs of mint
