Wherever you travel in Morocco, you’ll see people sipping the wonderful mint tea. It’s packed full of flavour, extremely sweet & I’d never turn down the offer of a cup. It truly is the flavour of the country (hence our Moroccan chocolate bar) from the riads to the deserts & the Atlas Mountains, where we were kindly shown how the tea was made in a welcoming Berber household. Here’s a step by step guide to making tea, kindly demonstrated by Menuka.

1. Add a couple of teaspoons of green tea leaves into the teapot & then fill a quarter of the pot with hot water.

2. Add a nice bunch of fresh mint leaves…

3. Followed by a lot of sugar!

4. Cover & leave to stew for several minutes

5. Now fill up the teapot with hot water. Pour a small glass back & forth into the pot to further blend the flavours.

6. Finally serve by carefully pouring from a height to add a nice froth to the top of the drink.

7. And enjoy – thankyou Manuka!
