How to make Moroccan

home.

minutes
Here's How:
1.Boil about a quart of water.
2.Pour a few ounces of the boiling water
into your teapot and then discard that
water ("scalding the pot").
3.Put about 2 tablespoons of gunpowder
green tea in the empty teapot.
4.Pour about 6 ounces of water into the
teapot.
5.Allow the tea to steep for about 2
minutes.
6.Pour out the water and set it aside (it is
too bitter to drink).
7.Put several mint sprigs into the teapot.
8.Put several teaspoons (to taste) of sugar
into the pot.
9.Fill the teapot with boiling water.
10.Allow to steep for about 5 minutes.
11.Pour tea into glasses and enjoy.
Tips:
1.Pouring the tea from a good height above
the glass oxygenates the tea and
improves taste.
2.Make sure you entirely cover the tea and
the mint with the boiling water.
3.Use only fresh mint sprigs and do not use
mint leaves unless nothing else is
available.
