Mint Tea - Moroccan Tradition

Welcome to our 22nd country, Morocco! šŸ‡²šŸ‡¦ā™„ļøā €


I’m on our terrace enjoying some mint tea. Mint tea is a hallmark of hospitality here in Morocco. If you have the honor of pouring the tea, pour the first cup & then put it back into the teapot to help cool it & dissolve the sugar. Start from the right and pour from as high as possible without splashing. They say the more bubbles, the better! Moroccan Mint Tea is also nicknamed ā€œBerber Whiskyā€ here because they enjoy it that much! ā €

ā €

When I got groceries here, I made sure to get some Chinese gunpowder green tea & fresh mint leaves (the recipe here), so I could make my own at home. I add it all to a tea pot with some maple syrup & we’ve enjoyed it every day with lunch on the terrace. This may need to be a new tradition!!ā €

ā €

I cannot wait to share more Moroccan traditions with you & show you all around. It’s truly an amazing place!
