Moroccan Mint Tea

Mint tea is a wonderful ritual in Morocco. Served in beautiful coloured tea glasses from elegant silver teapots. Normally comes on an ornate silver tray. When served, it is poured from great heights to aerate and produce frothy foam on top. Sweetened with sugar, it will revive you from a day of haggling in the souqs. Yet another magical part of Moroccan life!
