DIY: Craft Your Perfect Moroccan Mint Tea
- Start with 2-3 spoons of black tea in your pot, adjusting based on your preferred strength.
- Pour a full tea glass of hot water into the pot.
- Allow the tea to absorb some of the water. Watch closely and avoid over-boiling, which can scorch the tea.
- Discard the water to get rid of any bitter taste.
- Rinse the tea leaves by adding and then pouring out hot water, repeating this three times.
- Refill your teapot with water and set it on the stove to boil.
- While waiting, prepare the mint. Take about a handful, rinse it thoroughly, and remove the stems.
- Chop the mint leaves in half and introduce them to the boiling tea.
- Sweeten the brew with approximately four generous blocks of sugar.
- Pour, savor the moment, and immerse yourself in the delightful flavor of authentic Moroccan Mint Tea. 😊
