In Morocco, an offer of mint tea, which accompanies nearly every social interaction, symbolizes 24/7 hospitality and friendship. This recipe starts with fresh mint leaves — perhaps spearmint from your garden when in season. If you grow unique mint varietals, try them, too!
2
cups fresh mint
2 tablespoons green tea leaves*
1-inch piece peeled ginger root, thinly-sliced
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
6 cups boiling water
1 orange, sliced
6 mint sprigs, for garnish
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
*2 tablespoons of green tea leaves equals about the amount in 3 green tea bags.
