If you’re craving Moroccan-style mint tea, here’s how you can prepare it at home. You’ll need gunpowder tea, which gives the brew its signature strength, along with some organic mint (Tchaba mint is a fantastic option) and fresh tea leaves.
- Boil water in a Moroccan-style teapot.
- Rinse the gunpowder tea once or twice with hot water to get rid of the dust and to open the leaves.
- Add the tea back into the pot, pour boiling water over it, and let it steep for about 5 minutes.
- Add the organic mint leaves and sweeten to taste with sugar, honey, or agave syrup.
- Pour the tea into glasses (traditionally from a height to create some foam), and serve with dates or a sweet dessert.
It’s a truly comforting drink that adds a touch of tradition to your Ramadan gatherings or gatherings with your friends and family all year round. You can even serve it alongside your other beverages, creating a diverse and delightful spread.
