MINT TEA



One of the more delightful ways to take a break from the bustling streets of the city is to partake in mint tea. This delicious sweet green tea infused with mint is flavorful, aromatic, and refreshing. As in many other cultures, tea drinking is raised to the sanctity of a ritual in Morocco. Tea is often served from a silver pot and is poured in a stream from a height into a small glass cup filled with mint leaves. Tea is served as a greeting, for refreshment, to seal a deal, or just to provide a little energy. In Arab cultures mint tea is also known as Touareg tea, and in Morocco it is whimsically referred to as Berber Whiskey.
