Moroccan Mint Tea
With these green tea pellets, also known as gunpowder, you can make a real Moroccan mint tea: fresh, sweet and full of flavour. This is the tea that is served at every visit in Morocco, poured from high up from the pot so that foam forms on the glasses.
How to make traditional Moroccan mint tea
You will need a Moroccan teapot, or a regular metal pot. Scoop 1 tablespoon of tea pellets into the pot, pour a dash of boiling water over it, let it swirl around for a minute and then pour off the water with the lid on the pot. Wash a bunch of fresh mint and add it, along with 5 tablespoons of sugar. Pour in about 1.5 litres of boiling water, stir well and let the tea brew over a low heat with the lid open. When the tea rises, remove the pot from the heat.
Stir well again, so that the pellets do not block the holes on the inside of the pot. Pour out a glass and pour it back into the pot, and repeat. Then pour the glasses from progressively higher: this allows air into the tea, which enhances the aroma, and cools it down a bit immediately.
