Moroccan Tea
Recipe

This delicious, mint-infused tea is even more exotically appealing when poured using the Moroccan-style method; holding a long-necked tea pot high above the cup. (Of course it’s tasty from a regular pot, too.)

Ingredients

Serves 4 cups

~		hot water for warming the tea pot
4	cups	boiling water
3	teaspoons	loose Chinese green tea, placed in a tea infuser
6–8	sprigs	fresh mint leaves
1/3	cup	sugar
~		garnish with mint sprigs if desired

Directions

Fill the tea pot with hot water and set aside while you boil the water. Pour out the water when ready to brew the tea.
Place the tea infuser and mint in the tea pot and cover with the boiling water. Let steep for five minutes.
Remove the infuser.
Add the sugar and mix well.
If using a Moroccan pot and tea glasses, hold the teapot 12 to 14 inches above the glasses and pour.
Add a fresh mint sprig and serve.

Preparation time: Approximately 7 minutes.
