Pregătirea ingredientelor

Ingrediente

Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Bring water to a boil in a teapot or small saucepan.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

2. 2

   Once boiling, add the green tea to the teapot.

3. 3

   Allow the tea to steep for about 1 minute, then pour out a small amount of tea into a glass and discard it. This 'washes' the tea leaves.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

   Nota bucătarului: This step is crucial for removing any bitterness from the tea.

4. 4

   Add the fresh mint and granulated sugar (if using) to the teapot.

   Nota bucătarului: Adjust sugar to your preference; traditional Moroccan tea is quite sweet.

5. 5

   Return the teapot to low heat and let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld without boiling vigorously.

   Aproximativ 5 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Do not let the tea boil too hard once the mint is added, or it might lose its freshness.

6. 6

   Carefully stir the tea and pour it into traditional Moroccan tea glasses or heatproof mugs from a height to create a frothy top.

   Nota bucătarului: Pouring from a height helps aerate the tea and cool it slightly.
