How to Properly Prepare Moroccan Mint

STEP 1: Boil cold water.

Always use freshly drawn (filtered if possible) cold water in the kettle. Tea loves oxygen as it helps the flavor develop. Good tea depends on the water you use to make it.”

Use an electric tea kettle with a temperature setting if possible. Just under the boiling point is perfect at 206°F.

STEP 2: Warm up the teapot.

Pour freshly boiled water into a teapot and swish it around. Then discard the water.

Warming up the teapot allows the tea to unfurl, relax, and deliver the maximum flavor. It also helps to keep the tea warm without dropping the temperature.

STEP 3: Put the tea sachet into a teapot/cup and add hot water.

never pour boiling water over a tea bag or loose tea. They say “this is because the boiling water will burn the tea, it scalds it and therefore, the tea doesn’t release all of its maximum flavors.”

STEP 4: Cover teapot and steep for 3-5 minutes.


STEP 5: Strain tea sachet and pour the tea into a teacup.

Pour strained tea sachet into a teacup and then if desired, add milk, sugar, or lemon.
