Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups water filtered or spring water preferred
- 2 tbsp green tea leaves Chinese gunpowder tea recommended
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves spearmint or Moroccan nana mint
- 4 tbsp sugar or to taste, adjust for sweetness preference
Notes
For authentic Moroccan presentation, serve in small, decorative glasses. The tea can be adjusted to taste - some prefer it very sweet while others enjoy it less so. Fresh mint is essential for the best flavor. Can be made ahead and reheated gently, though it's best served fresh. For a less traditional but equally delicious variation, add a slice of lemon or a few fresh verbena leaves.
