Atay b’Nahna
Mint tea
Makes 5 cups
Morocco’s national drink is made with Chinese green tea like Gunpowder or young Hyson. Neither black tea nor a smokier, Japanese green tea is ever used in atay b’nahna. The tea is served in a typical pot bellied teapot, and sipped from delicate mint tea glasses (available on eBay and in fine cookware stores.)
2 teaspoons Chinese green tea
5 cups boiling water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
15 fresh spearmint sprigs (NOT flavored mint)
2 or 3 orange blossoms or a few leaves of lemon verbena (optional)
In a teapot, place the tea and the boiling water. Let steep 2 minutes. Add the sugar, mint, and any optional ingredient. Let steep 3 to 4 minutes and serve in mint tea glasses.
