Sugar: White table sugar is the most common sweetener for this tea, though you can substitute honey or agave. A welcome respite from cool starry nights and desert trails, mint and green tea is still celebrated and enjoyed as a refreshing, stomach-soothing tonic. Many families serve tea more than once a day and Moroccan hospitality dictates that one must always offer mint tea to both drop-ins and expected guests.

Mint has been used as an infusion, decoction, and herbal medicine throughout the Mediterranean since Antiquity. I have a friend from northern Morocco who makes tea one way but always doubles the sugar when my husband is at the table.

Maghrebi mint tea ( Maghrebi Arabic: أتاي, atay; [1] Arabic: الشاي بالنعناع, romanized: aš-šhāy bin-na'nā'; [2] Berber languages: ⴰⵜⴰⵢ, romanized: atay), also known as Moroccan mint tea [3] [4] and Algerian mint tea, [5] [6] [7] is a North African preparation of gunpowder green tea with spearmint leaves and sugar. For the uninitiated, Moroccan mint tea, or Maghrebi mint tea, is a simple yet refreshing tea that’s commonly served in the region.

As an example, during the cold season, Moroccans tend to add herbs known for their warming properties, like a variety of Pennyroyal mint and absinthe. Moroccan people use a generous quantity of mint and sometimes, they have to bend the branches and squeeze them to make them enter the teapot. A calming blend of green tea and spicy peppermint leaf, Moroccan Mint is a time-honoured blend inspired by the tea-drinking practices of Morocco’s nomadic Tuareg people.Although there is no agreement regarding when tea was introduced to Morocco, a day won't likely pass in which you wouldn't drink, be offered, or offer a cup of this wonderful warming, sweet, and calming beverage.

And while I wish I could say it was the tagine or couscous that still defines my memories there, the food poisoning I had for most of the trip gets in the way of that. Look for Chinese gunpowder tea—the leaves are rolled into little pellets that resemble gunpowder and the flavor is best to make a classic Moroccan mint tea. Clean: Add gunpowder green tea leaves to your teapot, then add enough boiling water to cover the leaves. If you've never had Moroccan mint tea, this beverage is made by steeping green tea with a generous handful of spearmint leaves—sometimes also made with other types of mint or herbs—and traditionally served in small glass cups.Maghrebi Mint Tea is also widely consumed throughout the day in bars and cafes that offer an alcohol-free alternative to the pubs and bars that our culture is more familiar with, the difference being the lack of alcohol.
