FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Heat water and pour 1 small glass of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of green tea.
• 2.   After one minute, discard the liquid and keep the tea. (This is to remove the initial bitterness of the tea), then pour the remaining water (it is best to have a small teapot, ideally equipped with a filter in the spout, it's easier).
• 3.   Immediately add the fresh mint, submerging the leaves in the water (if they float, they will taste burnt and slightly bitter - with practice, you will recognize it - it's how Moroccans know when the tea is burnt).
• 4.   Add the sugar on top.
• 5.   Mix.
• 6.   Pour into glasses while holding the teapot high to create a 'foamy' effect with the sugar... and drink hot.
