 Writing: p.41(How to make Moroccan mint tea)



Ingredients :

  • 3-4 cups of water
  • 1 tablespoon dried tea leaves (“special gunpowder”)
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar
  • Large bunch of fresh min

Directions :

1- First, please meet the Moroccan tea pot. It is a super important piece in every Moroccan home. It’s beautiful, curvy, and shiny – the perfect tea pot!
2- If you look inside the teapot you will see these tiny holes that filter the tea when pouring it. So if you don’t have a Moroccan tea pot, just use a small tea sifter when pouring the tea from a regular tea pot.
3- Boil water.
4- Add 1 tablespoon of dried green tea to the pot. You can use the green tea of your choice; in Morocco we mostly use Chinese green tea also called “special gunpowder”.
5- Add 1 cup of boiling water to the teapot and swish around. Pour the water into a cup and set aside. We are going to reuse this first cup as it contains the core tea flavor.
6- Add another cup of boiling water to the teapot and swish around. Pour the water into a cup and this time you can discard it. This step is to clean the loose tea.
7- Add a large bunch of mint leaves and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar to the teapot. Yes, Moroccan Mint tea is very sweet and is usually served at the end of a meal, kind of a dessert. You can of course adjust the sweetness to your taste.
8- Pour the cup of tea-flavored water that you kept on the side back in the teapot. Then add more boiling water. This should be around 3-4 cups of water.
9- Place the teapot on the stove, and, on medium heat, bring the tea to a boil. 10- This is an important step as it allows the sugar to caramelize and give Moroccan tea its special flavor.
11- Before serving, mix all the ingredients by pouring tea into a glass and then pouring it back into the teapot.
12- And that’s it, pour the tea high above the glass to get that special Moroccan Mint team foam.
13- This glass if of course for me!
Bonne appétit!

Easy Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Crack four eggs into a bowl, add 30ml (2 tbsp) of milk and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  2. Beat the mixture lightly with a whisk or fork.
  3. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a medium size fry pan on a low heat and when it starts foaming, pour in the eggs and leave to set for 60-90 seconds.
  4. Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs from the edges of the pan into the centre. Turn and tilt the pan so the runny eggs take up the available space and again gently pull it towards the centre. This gentle pulling towards the centre of the pan makes lovely, light ribbons of egg.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat before the egg is completely set. Leave to sit for a minute or two so the egg can gently finish cooking in its own heat.
