Tea with Mint

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon of green tea
• 1 handful of fresh mint leaves (spearmint is preferred)
• 4 tablespoons sugar (Can be replaced with honey)
• 4 cups boiling water
• Tea pot (traditionally a Moroccan “berrad”)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the Tea
   Boil water and pour a small amount (about 1/2 cup) into your teapot over the green tea leaves. Swirl it around for a few seconds to rinse the tea, then discard the water. This step helps remove any bitterness from the green tea.

2. Add Boiling Water
   Pour about 4 cups of boiling water into the teapot over the tea.
3. Brew the Tea
   Let the tea steep for about 3-5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
4. Add Mint and Sugar
   Add the fresh mint leaves and sugar to the teapot with the rinsed green tea. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.
5. Mix the Tea
   To mix the tea well, pour a glass of tea and then return it to the pot. Repeat this process two or three times.
6. Serve the Tea
   Pour the tea into small glasses from a height to create a nice froth on top. Traditionally, Moroccan tea is served in small glasses.
