Green Moroccan Mint Tea

Preparation time: <15 minutes 

 

Ingredients ; 

*2 level tbsp green tea, 3 sprigs fresh mint 5-6 centimeters, half liter of water, 5 tablespoons fairly bulged with powdered sugar. 

 

preparation: 

If you do not have a tea pot, use a pot with a tightly fitting lid.

Use fresh water: no tap water because it contains chlorine; choose a minimum of water with the salts.

Tea: use green tea called "buds". Regular tea is made of crumbs or lower quality teas drops. The buds tea is a little more expensive but puts less, which offsets.

Mint: it is peppermint. Always use fresh mint. If you do not have one, forget the tea, unless you settle for a bad tea! If you find fresh mint market, remove the boot link and put it in a bag in the freezer WITHOUT WASHING! (See below). Or grow a mint pot on the balcony or kitchen window.

Heat the water. It should not boil. Put green tea in the teapot. When water is boiling and NOT BOILING wash mint, put on tea and pour the water. Infuse for 5 minutes, add the sugar and stir. Infuse another 2 to 5 minutes. Your tea is ready!

Very important: never wash mint in advance: it takes a smell and taste terrible cat pee. Always wash at the last moment. Obviously, one can put a sprig of mint in each glass for the "pleasure".

If you still have tea, you can keep it in the fridge and reheat the next day. Yes, yes! It will only be harder to have slept in its leaves. It can be served iced light and the summer is very refreshing.
