Moroccan Mint Tea

Moroccan Mint Tea is a soothing blend of loose leaf green tea and mint, usually fresh.

This tea is made with an interesting tea made from Gunpowder tea, which are hand rolled tea leaves.  It’s really cool to watch them unfurl while they steep. Mix them with Spearmint Tea and you have Moroccan Mint Tea! See the instructions below to do it the authentic Moroccan way.
