Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 green tea bags
- 1 (2-inch) piece orange peel
- 8 sprigs fresh mint
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil. When it’s boiling, add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Turn off the heat.
- Drop the tea bags and the orange peel into a teapot. Rip the mint leaves and drop them in too. Pour the water into the teapot, put the lid on, and allow to steep for about 10 minutes.
- When you’re ready to serve, pour into small glasses, using a tea strainer. If you can, try pouring a good few inches from the glass – this cools down the tea, and creates a light foam on top that is traditional. You can also chill this tea and serve over ice on hot days. Refreshing, and great for your digestion!

Reviews
I have a good friend from Morocco who used to prepare tea that tasted very similar to this. This is the best I have found! Thank you !
This tea is delicious! The fresh mint and orange peel make a delicious flavour. And it’s hot tea. I have a cup every night after dinner. It’s wonderful. Thank you Aarti!
This tea recipe inspired me to grow my own mint and my neighbor gives me oranges from his tree, so I am able to enjoy this delicious and relaxing tea often! Thank you so much, Aarti!
Refreshing and light
Could this be any more delicious or any more refreshing? It’s just as good iced as it is hot.
Incredibly flavorful tea! It is just as good, and quite refreshing, iced!
The recipes look GREAT but what I need is the recipe for the pea-lafel!
What I was looking for was the pea-lafel recipe also on this episode which was not included altho in the description of the episode it is there.
