MOROCCAN MINT TEA
You can barely take a step in the markets of Marrakech without tripping over fresh mint, or at least without being offered a glass of hot, sweet mint tea. Be sure to lift the teapot high above the cup while pouring; Moroccans appreciate the way this aerates the tea (and they always pour with great panache).

MOROCCAN MINT TEA
Mint tea isn't just a drink in Morocco. It is a sign of hospitality and friendship and tradition. Because this drink is so popular, it is served all day long, after every meal and with every conversation. Moroccans take great pride in their tea and will often ask a visitor who among their group of friends makes the best cup of mint tea.

MOROCCAN MINT TEA
Steps:
- In a teapot combine mint leaves, sugar, and tea and add boiling water. Let tea steep 5 to 10 minutes. Strain tea trough a fine sieve into teacups and garnish with mint sprigs.
Tips:
- Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Make sure the green tea is hot when you add it to the sugar syrup. This will help the sugar dissolve completely.
- Let the tea mixture cool completely before adding it to the ice cream maker. This will help prevent the granita from becoming too icy.
- Churn the granita in the ice cream maker for at least 30 minutes, or until it is slushy. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the tea mixture in a shallow pan and stir it every 30 minutes until it is slushy.
- Serve the granita immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Moroccan mint tea granita is a refreshing and delicious way to cool down on a hot day. It is also a healthy and flavorful treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is a great option for anyone who wants to try something new and exciting.
