People who have tasted Moroccan cuisine have generally drunk Moroccan mint tea.
This tea is also known as Moroccan Whiskey.
Speaking of this tea in Morocco, I have to talk about the history of Moroccan tea.
Moroccan tea was introduced from China in the 18th century and became popular in Morocco in the middle of the 19th century.
Although there are many countries producing tea in the world, Morocco's tea has always been imported from China.
Mint tea is not only the "national drink" of Morocco, but also spread to other North African countries and become an inseparable part of local life.
Arab countries are all patriarchal societies. Cooking is a woman’s job. Only brewing mint tea is the right of a man (the head of the family), which shows its importance.
Youyou, too. After drinking this tea, you can't forget it (laughs).
It happened that there was a kind of mint in Youyou's yard, so I wanted to make this tea.
The authentic mint tea uses Chinese pearl tea, which is called gunpowder tea in English.
The method of peppermint tea also varies from region to season.
The biggest feature of this tea is the organic combination of green tea and vanilla.
The spiciness of mint and the fragrance of green tea are fully integrated. Take a sip to taste the unique Moroccan taste.
So now let's take a look at how it works! "

Ingredients

Moroccan Mint Tea

1. First prepare the materials and a teapot (because it is vanilla tea, a transparent glass teapot looks more beautiful, or a traditional Moroccan silver teapot is also very good). Chinese green tea is fine for tea. Youyou is in Japan, so I use sencha instead (sencha is also a kind of green tea) to make it taste good.

2. Boil a pot of boiling water first, then put the tea leaves in the teapot, and pour about 150ml of boiling water. If you are using ordinary green tea, it is recommended to wash the tea once. It is better not to wash the tea. Youyou uses Japanese Sencha. The best green tea in Japan is called "Gamaro", followed by "Sencha". Therefore Youyou did not wash the tea. If you are using very high-quality green tea (such as the good Longjing or Biluochun), it is recommended to put mint leaves and sugar first, and then add the top-quality tea when the water temperature drops a little.

3. Next, put sugar and mint leaves. You need to put a lot of sugar, but Youyou doesn't like to be too sweet, and the amount of mint is not too much, so I only put 30g, the sweetness is enough for Youyou, if you think it is not enough, you can add more sugar.

4. For mint, it is best to make Moroccan mint tea with mentha viridis. If not, use regular mint instead. If you like the mint flavor, you can add more and less at the beginning. If you feel that the flavor is not enough, you can add more later and adjust it according to your taste. In Morocco, it is usually sufficient (mint leaves to fill the entire teapot). Crush it a little when you put it, or pinch it with your hands to let the mint leaves release their fragrance.
