In Moroccan cuisine, one beverage is as important as any other dish. We are referring to the essential Moroccan mint tea. Discover more about this unmissable element of Moroccan culture and consider renting a car in Morocco to enjoy a cup in a café in the souk.
To prepare this mint tea, you will need green tea leaves, a bunch of fresh mint leaves, sugar, and water. First, rinse the tea leaves with boiling water before draining them. This reduces the bitterness of the tea. Next, boil the water again and pour it over the tea (in a teapot). Let it steep for a few minutes before adding the washed mint leaves and sugar. Let it steep a little longer before serving the tea piping hot.
Mint tea is an essential part of everyday life in Morocco. During your stay, consider stopping at a local café to experience the Moroccan lifestyle and share a mint tea.
Dollar Morocco's tip: rent a station wagon to go and enjoy a real Moroccan mint tea in a café in the souk.
Mint tea is the quintessential Moroccan drink. Shared at any time of the day or night, mint tea is an integral part of Moroccan culture. To do as the Moroccans do and enjoy a mint tea on the terrace of a local café, consider renting a car when you arrive in Morocco.
