This is how Moroccan tea is prepared
- Take a small saucepan or, ideally, a Moroccan tea kettle and add about a tablespoon of green tea.
- Place the kettle on the stove, boil the water and then pour away the first brew. This will prevent the tea from getting a bitter taste.
- Now put a handful of fresh nano mint in the kettle. Incidentally, this is best available in Moroccan grocery stores or at some weekly markets.
