Traditional Moroccan Mint Tea
Perfect Moroccan mint tea for two.
- 2 tsp green tea leaf (usually a strong Chinese tea, e.g., gunpowder or Chun Mee)
- 2 cups water (boiling)
- 2 sprigs mint leaves (rinsed)
- 5 tsp sugar
In a teapot, combine two teaspoons of tea-leaf with 2 cups of boiling water. Allow it to steep for at least 15 minutes.
- Without stirring, filter the mixture into a stainless steel pot, so that the tea leaves and coarse powder are removed.
Add sugar (about 2 1/2 teaspoon per cup).
- Bring to boil over a medium heat (this helps the sugar dissolve).
- Fresh mint leaves can be added to the teapot, or directly to the cup.
