Moroccan mint tea
North African beverage
Moroccan mint tea is a sweet green tea steeped with fresh spearmint leaves, traditionally served in small glasses and poured from a height to create foam.
The preparation and serving are ceremonial—offering tea to guests is a sign of hospitality in Morocco.
We sat in the medina drinking Moroccan mint tea.
