Moroccan mint tea recipe
- Cuisine: Moroccan
This is very refreshing on a hot afternoon or after a meal instead of black coffee.
The tea ceremony is sacred and there is quite an art form to the pouring of the tea. The higher the pour the better, which takes a bit of practice.
Ingredients
Gunpowder tea (or any green tea)
Boiling water
Fresh mint (prefer short leaf bunch, with less stem)
Sugar to taste
Preparation
Place the tea in a tea pot (allow 3 tablespoons for a large tea pot about 5 to 6 glasses). Pour over ½ cup fresh boiling water. Allow the tea to steep (let stand) for 10 seconds only. This will rinse the gun powder 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 tea pot to boil and let it stand for a couple more minutes)
Pour 3 to 4 cups, but do not stir. Simply pour back into the pot, this allows the mint tea mixture to blend naturally.

Hot Tips
Peeling and de-seeding tomatoes
To peel and de-seed a tomato, score a small cross in the base of the tomato with your knife; plunge in boiling water for 1 minute, refresh under cold water (running water seems to make peeling easier too); cut in half and scoop out seeds with a dessert spoon.
