Moroccan Tea

How to make the perfect pot of Moroccan tea...Trust me I married one

Of course boil up your water.  Then in your tea pot place 1 to 2 handfuls of gun powder green tea.  Pour some boiling water into the pot swish about a few seconds and pour off down the sink.  Then pour more boiling water into the pot about one Moroccan tea cup size and let sit a few seconds. Pour into one of your tea glasses and reserve. Then again (Yes I know) pour more boiling water into the pot. Swish about and pour out again. Finally place a generous amount of mint and sugar (and if you have it a small amount of sheba) into the pot fill with boiling water again and let sit a minute.

Here you can simply stir and pour or be fancy and pour several cups in and out to mix everything up.  And then enjoy!

Handy tip: if you're like my hubby and I we stretch the pot a little farther by refilling with boiling water after we pour out the first 2 glasses just to get a bit more cups. Be sure to stir again though. 

*** My favorite treat from Morocco he brought me home from his last trip I didn't get to too was my chabekya...I do love my tea with shortbread cookies or almond biscotti as well...
