"I found this wonderful Moroccan Tea recipe on S.B.S. Food safari. The steps to make this might seem strange, but following the steps is a must to make the perfect tea!"

Original is 3-4 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the tea in a teapot (allow 3 tablespoons for a large teapot, about 5–6 glasses). Pour over ½ cup fresh boiling water. Allow the tea to steep (let stand) for 10 seconds only. This will rinse the gunpowder tea and allow the leaves to open up. Pour out the water.

Step 2

Add all the mint and sugar to taste. Pour fresh boiling water onto mix to fill the pot.

Step 3

Allow the tea to steep for a few minutes. (If you prefer your tea strong, you may bring the full teapot to boil and let it stand for a couple more minutes.).

Step 4

Pour 3–4 cups, but do not stir. Simply pour back into the pot, this allows the mint tea mixture to blend naturally.

Step 5

Pour tea and enjoy.

I made this using a jasmine green tea and lots of fresh mint. I loved it so much I didn't even add any sugar.

I knew I was going to like this tea for the mere fact that mint was involved. My curiosity was also tickled with the use of “gunpowder” tea. This tea was very enjoyable and soothing to me and considering that I bought a whole box of loose leaf gunpowder tea, I will be enjoying this tea for a while. Can’t wait for the mint in my garden to grow so I can enjoy it with fresh home-grown mint. Thank you Tisme for sharing. Update: 23APR2020- Enjoyed this again and it was so inviting to have this on a brisk day. What I also found is that, after letting it sit overnight with the water, mint and tea leaves, the next morning, it developed a richer flavor...So Yum! Soothing and as enjoyable as ever!
