What is Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel is a metal also known as inox stell or inox, meaning that it does not oxidize, corrode, rust or stain with water, unlike ordinary steel. It is in fact a steel alloy with chromium that renders the steel stainless.

Stainless steel was first created in the 19th century and soon was applied to create kitchen utensils that could withstand constant and harsh use.

Moroccan Mint Tea

Traditionally, Moroccan mint tea is brewed in an engraved silver teapot. However, as these can be rather expensive, the stainless steel tea is a more affordable alternative.

While the silver teapot is reserved for more ceremonial occasions when receiving guests, the stainless steel teapot can be used for everyday mint tea at any hour for any occasion.

Let’s take a quick look at this refreshing tea.

The Moroccan mint tea is a blend of Chinese gunpowder green tea and fresh spearmint leaves.

In your teapot place 1 tablespoon of green tea and pour one cup of boiling water, swirl the water to warm the teapot and to wash the tea leaves. Pour the water out, making sure the leaves remain in the pot.

Now pour 4 fresh cups of hot water to your tea, let steep for 2 minutes and then add mint and sugar to taste and steep for a 3-4 additional minutes.

This tea is served in small decorated glasses, poured from a height of half a meter or more to oxygenate the tea, improving its flavor by making the tea leaves swirl.

Using this technique produces foam on the surface of the liquid.
