Mint green tea, photo by rexipe
I went on holiday to Marrakech and loved drinking this tea … I asked the guy who made it at the tea shop near Jamaa El Fna for the recipe and here it is … By the way I have tried this at home and yes it is gorgeous
Ingredients
1 rounded teaspoon green tea
5 teaspoons sugar (granulated)
12-14 large fresh mint leaves
1 cup water
1 sprig of mint per glass to be served
Method
Mix tea and sugar. Crush mint leaves in water. Bring to boil. Pour over tea and sugar. Let steep for 5 minutes. Place small sprig of mint in two thick 4-ounce juice glasses. Strain tea into glasses. Drink while hot.
The man I watched make this tea in Marrakech used one of the small brass coffeemakers which you can buy at Jamaa El Fna. He boiled the mint leaves, tea and sugar over the fire. Then he strained this over the sprigs of mint in the glass.
Enjoy the Recipe
