To conclude the gastronomy of Marrakech we can not ignore its refreshing traditional drink. Mint tea is the drink of hospitality but it has also become the national drink par excellence to which one lends digestive virtues after a meal of delicious dishes with spicy and exotic flavours.
Mint tea is traditionally consumed throughout the day and more or less sweet. Unlike cooking, made by women, tea is traditionally a man's business: prepared by the head of the family, it is served to the guest and it should not be refused.
