MOROCCAN MINT TEA

Actually, I wanted to give you the recipes for the Moroccan traditional foods but, in my opinion, it is really hard to prepare and it took a lot of time before to get the perfect dish :s then, instead of these recipes, I decided to give the easier moroccan recipe that will take you few minutes to prepare, and it is so delicious!! The Moroccan mint tea is our traditional drink. It is a sign of hospitality, friendship, and it represents a fundamental element in our tradition. You can take it for your breakfast, during the dinner, after your lunch, or for desert with the delicious pastry makings :) 


For this recipe, you need: 
- 10 springs fresh mint 
- 3 teaspoons of green tea 
- 3 tablespoons of sugar / or more to taste 
- 4 cups of water 


Directions: 
1 - Boil the water and pour a small amount in the teapot, swishing it around to warm the pot.
2 - Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.

1. 3 - Let the tea brew for three minutes.
2. 4 - Set out glasses for the tea.
3. 5 - A shot-glass is close to the slender glasses used in Morocco.
4. 6 - Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot.
5. 7 - Repeat.
6. 8 - This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.
7. 9 - Pour the tea.
8. 10 - You want a nice foam on the tea so always pour with the teapot a high distance above the glasses.
9. 11 - 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.
10. 12 - Garnish with the remaining sprigs of mint.
    
    
    Enjoy :)
