Traditional Moroccan Mint Tea

Poured from high above the glass until a light foam appears, this tea is as much a gesture as a drink; Dammann Frères’ Flavored Green Mint Tea N°667, Gunpowder green tea with spearmint and peppermint, keeps the Moroccan tradition fresh and vegetal.

Serves 4 · 10 min

Ingredients

  • 6 g Flavored Green Mint Tea N°667 (Dammann Frères), or 3 tea bags

  • Honey pastries or dates, to serve
