Instructions
Traditional Moroccan Mint Tea
- Boil: Boil water in a kettle or pot.
- Clean: Add gunpowder green tea leaves to your teapot, then add 1 cup of boiling water to cover the leaves. Swirl it around then strain and discard the water.
- Steep: To your teapot with the cleaned gunpowder green tea leaves, add fresh mint and sugar. Fill the pot with remaining boiling water, allowing tea to steep for 5 minutes.
- Serve: Pour tea into serving glasses from a height, which creates a frothy “head” on top of each glass.
Cup of Yum
Single-Serving Moroccan Mint Tea
- Boil: Boil water in a kettle or pot.
- Clean: Add gunpowder green tea leaves to your tea infuser. Fill a serving glass with ½ cup of boiling water, then dip the tea infuser into the water for a few seconds. Discard the water.
- Steep: Fill serving glass with remaining hot water, then add the infuser filled with the cleaned gunpowder green tea leaves, along with fresh mint and sugar. Let tea steep for 5 minutes. Before enjoying.
Notes
- Don't have gunpowder green tea? Feel free to use the same amount of loose leaf green tea in its place, or 1 green tea bag for every 1 teaspoon of loose-leaf tea.
- Make it iced! To make iced Moroccan mint tea, simply move the finished steeped tea to the refrigerator to chill for 1 to 2 hours, then serve over ice.
- Make ahead: Iced mint tea is also a great way to prep the tea ahead of time. Just store a large batch in the fridge (without ice) until ready to enjoy (up to 2 days in advance).
