4 cups water
1 bunch fresh mint sprigs
2 tbsp green tea leaves (Gunpowder or Sencha)
2-4 tbsp sugar or honey, to taste Shop

Instructions

1 In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent over-extraction of the tea leaves.
2 Add the green tea leaves and the fresh mint sprigs to the hot water. Allow them to steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. The aroma should become fragrant and the liquid will take on a light amber hue.
3 Strain the tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or teapot, discarding the tea leaves and mint sprigs. Gently press on the solids to extract any remaining liquid.
4 Stir in the sugar or honey, starting with 2 tablespoons, until fully dissolved. Continue to stir and taste, adding more sweetener as needed until the desired level of sweetness is achieved, about 1-2 minutes of stirring.
5 Pour the Moroccan Mint Tea into heatproof glasses, ensuring it's still warm. Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating, authentic flavor.

Tips & Notes

Honey is sweeter than sugar — if substituting, use 3/4 cup honey per 1 cup sugar and reduce liquid by 1/4 cup.
Blend smoothies from frozen fruit for a thicker, colder result without diluting with ice.
Chill the assembled dish for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
