Ingredients
- 6 cups cups boiling water
- 2 tbsp Moroccan dry black tea
- A handful of fresh spearmint tea leaves
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Start by heating the water in a saucepan on medium-high heat until it reaches a boiling point.
- Next, if you are using a Moroccan teapot or any teapot that can be placed on the heat source is great, if not you can use a medium saucepan instead.
- Add the black tea to the boiling water, and lower the heat to the lowest setting, then cook it until it boils again. It will start rising like milk.
- Turn off the heat and add the mint leaves. If you are using sugar cubes, use them to push the mint down.
- Stir your tea, then pour it into a glass, and pour the glass back into the teapot. Repeat the process twice. This action will mix your tea well, and make it taste great.
- If you are using a saucepan to make the team, you can use a fine mesh strainer.
- You can serve it right away, but the best way to serve it is to let the tea steep for at least 15 minutes, then heat it again.
Notes
- During the hot summer days, you can turn this amazing tea into a great summer drink, by turning it into iced mint tea by allowing it to cool down completely, then adding to it ice cubes.
- Dried mint can also be used instead of fresh mint.
