Moroccan Mint Tea

Method

Tap a step when it's done.

1. 1Warm the teapot by rinsing it with hot water. Add the green tea, pour in about 100 ml boiling water and leave for 30 seconds.
2. 2Pour this first infusion into a glass and set it aside; it is considered the essence of the tea. Rinse the leaves again with another 100 ml boiling water and discard it, which removes dust and excess bitterness.
3. 3Return the reserved first glass of tea to the pot. Wash the mint and push it into the pot, stems and all, then add the sugar.
4. 4Fill the pot with the remaining boiling water. If it is stovetop-safe, keep it over very low heat for 2-3 minutes; otherwise cover and steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. 5Pour a glass of tea and tip it back into the pot, repeating 2-3 times to dissolve and mix the sugar. Taste and add more sugar if you like.
6. 6Pour the tea into glasses, lifting the pot higher as you pour, so a thin foam forms on top. Serve immediately while hot.
