Moroccan Mint Tea
Green tea, fresh mint and sugar, poured from high above, the gesture of welcome.
- 10 min
- Easy
- 6 servings servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Chinese gunpowder green tea
- 1 large bunch fresh spearmint
- 3 to 5 tbsp sugar, to taste
- 1 litre boiling water
Preparation
Put the tea in the teapot, add a small glass of boiling water, swirl, and pour it into a glass. Keep this first glass aside: it's the "spirit" of the tea.
Add a little more boiling water, swirl again and throw this water away. It removes the bitterness.
Pour the first glass back into the teapot. Add the mint and sugar, and fill with boiling water.
Heat gently for 3 to 5 minutes without boiling hard.
Pour a glass and return it to the teapot two or three times to mix. Then serve, pouring from high above to create a light foam.
