Tea is more than just a drink in Morocco. Mint tea is intrinsic to everyday life in Morocco in the same way as masala chai is crucial to the very fabric of Indian society. Moroccans love their mint tea and Marrakech has numerous cafes and rooftop bars dedicated to this iconic drink. Serving and consuming alcohol is frowned upon in Marrakech. This could explain the omnipresence of mint tea. Moroccan mint tea is served in dainty transparent glasses. These glasses are often adorned with delicate gold latticework. This creates a stunning, albeit unusual, effect. The tea itself is a sweet concoction prepared with spearmint leaves, green tea, and lots of sugar. This classic Moroccan beverage is served in tiny quantities, so it's hard not to go back for seconds.
