                          Teapot in the culinary world

The Moroccan tea recipe

I was inspired by the previous blogs of  2014 and I thought an authentic way to connect the teapot to the culinary  world  would be to present  the recipe of the Moroccan tea. The typical Moroccan  tea serving  is  made  with  a (Berrad) Moroccan teapot, an ornate tray, and tea glasses  and one important step within the preparation method is that Moroccan teapots should be placed directly over the fire.

• Add the green tea in you Berrad (Moroccan teapot)
• Boil the water
• Add  ¼ cup of the boiled water to tea to clean it and throw the dark water away
• Fill the Berrad with the boiled water.
• Lower the heat and  boil off the tea 
• After turning off the heat, add fresh mint and sugar  and leave it for 3 minutes .
• Poor up the tea in glasses.

An interesting culinary book: ''The Culinary tea, more than 150 recipes''

Always talking about recipes, when browsing the internet I found  a culinary book that exposes around 150 popular recipes with all the ingredients and tips on how to prepare different types of tea.
