Mint Tea

Pastries are served with mint tea. Spearmint is considered the best for tea, but other varieties can be used. In Morocco, they drink the tea very sweet with a large number of sugar lumps in the teapot, but you can suit your taste.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. To make enough for 10 small glasses, you need a teapot that will hold 6 cups. Heat the pot first. Put in 1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese green tea such as Gunpowder tea, a large bunch of fresh spearmint, washed and patted dry, and lump sugar to your taste. Pour in boiling water and allow to infuse for about 5 minutes. Taste a little of the tea in a small glass, and add more sugar, if necessary.
