Tea Week day two: No milk, 44 sugars




Mezouga/ Ouzoud/ Near Merzouga, Morocco 2006


Morocco's delicious take on the world's favourite hot drink is made with green tea, mint leaves, '44 spices' (none of which you can actually taste) and about as many sugars. The dramatic serving ritual involves pouring the tea into small glasses from as high as possible, then tipping the glass back into the teapot and repeating the process a few times before drinking. This breakthrough method of mixing means that more sugar can be dissolved into liquid solution than was ever thought possible with the stir-it-with-a-teaspoon technique.
