In spite of the fact that tea making in the West is normally basic, in Morocco the procedure is more included. The accompanying advances demonstrate how the tea is ordinarily arranged in the background in Moroccan kitchens.

sugar
Moroccan mint tea is broadly sweet, so bear in mind the sugar (except if, obviously, you incline toward it less sweet because of wellbeing concerns or individual taste).
Appeared here are the two types of sugar frequently utilized by Moroccans in their tea making—a sugar cone gauging two kilograms, and sugar blocks of around 30 grams each. The sugar cone is favored by conventionalists and experts, yet since we would prefer not to split it up—the cone is entirely strong, requiring a kitchen hatchet to whack it into pieces—we'll be utilizing the sugar blocks.
In the event that you don't approach either type of sugar, realize that the 3 sugar blocks are generally proportional to 7 tablespoons of granulated sugar. By numerous Moroccans' measures, this won't be sufficient sugar to appropriately improve the expansive pot of tea that we'll make, yet you may find that it's to an extreme degree excessively. Don't hesitate to change the amount of sugar in either heading to suit your very own tastes.

Note that the tea leaves swell and retain a portion of the water, so you won't spill out as much fluid as you poured in. Maintain a strategic distance from the impulse to whirl the water around the pot before you pour or you'll messy the fluid.
This golden hued fluid is alluded to as the "soul" or "soul" of the tea since it contains full flavor from the water's first contact with the takes off. Spare this tea; it will return into the pot a brief time later.
