All around the Middle East and Northern Africa, a blend is made of Chinese gunpowder tea and peppermint. The brewed tea is then poured over small cones of unrefined sugar and the resulting beverage, Moroccan Mint, is sipped continuously during the hot afternoons. We enjoy Moroccan Mint iced as well.
Brewing Instructions: Steep 2-3 teaspoons per 8oz cup at 180°F for 2-3 minutes. (Too long of a steeping will result in bitterness!)
