MOROCCAN MINT TEA

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.

• Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.

• 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.
