Mint like basil its relative, is a volatile oil, meaning it's best extracted in boiling or simmering water. Without risk of ruining flavor or nutrients
@@NG__________ Here is the most authentic mint tea preparation I found. It takes time but it’ worth s it. And very important, to extract the Spirit of the Tea as the first step: pouring some out water on the leaves on the beginning and NOT STIRRING. Then after 1 minute pour out that “Gold” and save it for later. Then you can rinse the leaves with hot water 2-3 times. You will see the dirt...If you don’t rinse you drink all that dirt... I don’t know if you understand French but just by watching the video you can understand. If u have any question about the French sentences don’t hesitate to ask me. Bsaha u Raha !

Dear Alia, I love your series, all your recipes are delightful! Thank you so much. I bought myself a Tajine for my birthday and have long been collecting the beautiful Moroccan tea glasses... now I know how to make the Moroccan Mint Tea properly!
Alia I really enjoy your video series! My son in law lives here in the San Diego area. He is an executive chef and is originally from Oujda. He loves when I cook him traditional Moroccan dishes and thanks to you they are always perfect.
_We thank you for taking care of us, we are very proud that you loved our tea, and you're welcome any day in our country, this will make us happy, thank you !!!_
Hi, Alia. I love your videos. I never realized how many different cultures are influenced by the Marocain cooking. This is so interesting. And Happy Ramadan
Thank you. I love Tea and I always wanted to know how to make this. I am saving my money for a Tea Pot like that. I have the same Sunbeam water pitcher. Isn't it great!
On this day 23rd of January 2018, i made my very first Moroccan Tea..... A big thanks to you ... this video helped me a lot.... Our cook was on vacation and the tea boy is outside buying something, Im glad my boss and hus friend like what i prepared!!!!!
1. mint tea is the most popular tea in Morocco. more than any other beverage. 2. you can find many types of tea pots - those made of silver are very expensive and used in special occasions. the regular ones (made with some kind of metal) are for every day use.
one of the most important ingredient is of course mint! Moroccan mint is extremely flavorful, which may not be the case with the mint that you are using (grown outside of morocco). Also the dried green tea- use the chinese one called 'gunpowder'. and finally, the sugar. truly - the sugar tastes different!
Hi Alia! I have a Moroccan Tea Pot, but I am not sure how to clean it. It is getting tarnished and I really need to clean it well. Some of my girlfriends suggested using a lemon......is this ok? I need some guidance. :( Thanks always for your wonderful videos!!!
1- Boil the water. 2- Add the green tea to a large teapot and 1 cup of boiling water. Let rest for 1 minute then pour the water into a cup. Set aside. In Morocco, this tea water is called the “spirit of the tea”, which means it contains the first burst of flavors from the tealeaves. 3- Add another cup of boiling water to the teapot, swish around, then pour the water into a cup. Discard. This step is to clean the tea and you will notice that the water is darker the second time. 4- Pour back the “spirit of the tea” into the teapot. Add boiling water to the teapot until it is three quarters full. 5- Place the teapot on the stove and, on low heat, bring the tea to a boil. 6- Remove the teapot from the heat and immediately add the mint leaves and sugar to the teapot. 7- Mix all the ingredients by pouring the tea into a glass and then pouring it back into the teapot. Repeat this step 2-3 times. 8- Serve immediately. While pouring, hold the teapot high above the glass, to get the distinctive foam of Moroccan mint tea!
actually this change nothing , but we as moroccan we do that to make a foam on the cup cuz if there's a foam so the tea is perfect if not that means the tea its not rlly perfect and good
Hi, love this vidieo. I was told that pouring it from glass to teapot was to evenly mix the mint, tea and sugar evenly, its like u add sugar to a cup of tea or coffee and you dont stir it and u have all the sugar in the bottom even if it disolves the dencity makes it stay at the bottom, is this ture? also...I think I need to grow my own mint because a bucnch not even 1/4 of the size of yours cost about 2-4 dollars here where i live
Hi Aalia ! I love your videos ! I'm Moroccan 2 and I want to know from which citu you are in Morocco I'm from Oujda :) and How did you end up in the States ? :p I hope you can answer my question ! Nice video though many greetings from Abu Dhabi ! xxxx

This is a bit of strange question. I have a Moroccan teapot. It has a white plastic ring that screws into the lid top, exactly like the pot in the video. I have no idea what that is for. Can someone explain it to me? Shokran :)
U CAN DO ANOTHER WAY , TO HAVE THAT TASTY TEA , I BOILED THE WATER AND I PUT THE SAME CHINEESE GREEN TEA I BRING IT TO BOIL WITHOUT MINT AND SUGER , WHEN THE GREEN TEA IS BOILED THEN I TURN OFF THE STOVE AND I PUT MY MINT AND SUGER , AND I LEAVE IT FOR 10 TILL 15 MINITS THEN U WILL HAVE THAT MINTY MOROCCAN TASTE , U WILL GET THE SAME MOROCCAN TASTE BUT DO NOT FORGET TO RINSE THE GREEN TEA LIKE IN ALIA S VIDEO TWICE OR THREE TIMES
All my Moroccan friends claim they make the best tea. They also criticize eachothers teamaking. It´s this strange Moroccan tradition I have observed where during every teadrinking time they talk about how bad the tea is and how it should be made. I can´t taste the difference..

How to fix morning at home
Moroccan Mint Tea was one of my favorites when I visited Morocco years ago.
It is better to add mint after bowling tea by its own to avoid burning the mint and to ensure a strong mint flavor.
Thanks
Mint like basil its relative, is a volatile oil, meaning it's best extracted in boiling or simmering water. Without risk of ruining flavor or nutrients
oh my god!! i just made it and it tasted just like how my Moroccan friend used to make it. very tasty
So enjoy it
Mubarak
It's better to add sugar and mint after the boiling. A tip from a moroccan 😉.
Do it with rosemary too instead of mint. It's fantastic, so fantastic.
ider oujamaa And to keep the mint in iced water before to put it in the teapot
@@elhirba True for the boiling tea without the mint.... I agree with the iced mint vs very hot tea !

I do it differently, i don't put back the first cup you kept, since it's usually done to clean the gunpowder tea
+Zakidine Sama yeah i do the same thing and i always wondered if i did it wrong lol
I used to do the same as you but it seems the tea leaves start to unfold only after you set the 1st cup aside.
Morocco is so fascinating. I would love to go there one day.

I served it to one of my friends from a other country they loved it
Do u keep the tea leaves inside all the time or u throw them away before putting mint inside? Thanks
Wow wish I had a tea pot like that. The tea looks and sounds delicious.

Can I substitute sugar with honey? white sugar is not part of my diet. If yes then when should I add it? to the cup or to the pot.
1- Boil the water.
2- Add the green tea to a large teapot and 1 cup of boiling water. Let rest for 1 minute then pour the water into a cup. Set aside. In Morocco, this tea water is called the “spirit of the tea”, which means it contains the first burst of flavors from the tealeaves.

8- Serve immediately. While pouring, hold the teapot high above the glass, to get the distinctive foam of Moroccan mint tea!
Where do you buy the little cloth over the handle?
Does anyone know how many oz this teapot holds? I just ordered a 36 oz pot but didn't know if this was a 24 oz.
I like this recipe. Others I have seen not use sugar. I would like to try this recipe first. Bon appetite!
Can you please tell me the reason for lifting the tea while pouring? I have seen alot do so. Does it change the taste
actually this change nothing , but we as moroccan we do that to make a foam on the cup cuz if there's a foam so the tea is perfect if not that means the tea its not rlly perfect and good

Morrocans have interesting traditions and their food is so tasty!!!
Can't wait to try1

Hey Alia ! i followed the exact same tips in the video but i still cannot find that tasty flavor that characterizes so much the moroccan tea ! Maybe i don't clean mint enough ? anyway if you have a recommandation please let me know ^^

im sipping my instant morrocan mint tea rn, i just got curious and googled it xD
Hi Alia, I love all your videos !
Could you perhaps do a FAQs video so your viewers can know a little bit more about you ? greetings from France :) thxs
i thought green tea, in accordance to the chinese standard, was meant to be brewed at 80°C? freshly boiled water is approximately 100°c.
That's why they need to add all that sugar.
Thank you! Shukran
