MINT TEA
T R A D I T I O N
BY CHRISTINE BENLAFQUIH
Mint tea, made by steeping green tea
with mint leaves, is very popular, and
many Moroccans drink it several times
throughout the day and evening.
Moroccans are famous for their hospitality,
and it is Moroccan etiquette to offer
tea to any visitors that might stop by.
Although the tea is usually prepared with
a generous amount of spearmint leaves,
other herbs such as absinthium or wild
mint might be used.
