Ingredient appreciation — what makes Moroccan Mint Tea special

What sets Moroccan Mint Tea apart is the handling of harissa. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the richly perfumed result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. The a desert camp dinner atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Casablanca beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Moroccan Mint Tea is the place to start.
