📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Sometimes called "Moroccan whiskey" for how deeply it's woven into daily life. Serving this mint tea to guests is an unwavering custom, and pouring it from a height to create a fine foam on the surface is a traditional technique. Generous sugar is the authentic style.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A carpet shop in Fez: a glass of mint tea offered mid-negotiation, the ritual of hospitality as much a part of business as the goods themselves.
