Mint and Green Tea is the pairing behind Morocco's famous mint tea, and it is just as good from a single bag at home. Green tea still wants cooler water, around 80C rather than boiling, and a short steep to stop it turning harsh. After that it is up to you: drink it clean and bright, drop in a few fresh mint leaves for extra punch, or take it the Moroccan way with a little sugar. A proper reviver after a heavy meal.

250ml freshly drawn water cooled to 80C

Boil the kettle and let it stand a minute or two to drop to around 80C.
Drop in the tea bag and pour the cooled water over.
Cover with a saucer and steep for just three minutes, no longer, to keep it from turning bitter.
Lift the bag out. Drink it as it is, or add fresh mint and a little sugar Moroccan style.
Tip: pour from a height into the cup for a light, frothy top, the way it is done in Morocco.
