Morocco: Drinks

10 questions · Food & Drink

Drinks from Morocco: recognise mint tea, café nous-nous, lben, avocado juice, orange juice, almond milk, hibiscus tea, ginger tea, zaazaa and spiced coffee. Good to know: Green tea with fresh mint and lots of sugar. It is poured from a great height. A coffee made half-half with foamed milk. ‘Nous-nous’ means ‘half-half’. A refreshing, slightly sour buttermilk. It is often drunk with couscous. A creamy, sweetened avocado smoothie with milk. It is very popular at juice stalls. Fresh-pressed juice, everywhere in the souks. Morocco is a big orange supplier. A sweet almond drink (sharbat) with orange blossom. It is served at celebrations. A cold, deep-red infusion of hibiscus flowers (karkadé). It is tart, fruity and refreshing. A warming tea from fresh ginger. It is often sweetened with honey. A colourful smoothie of avocado, fruit and nuts. It is layered into the glass. Coffee with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and sesame (qahwa). Many Moroccan families have their own spice blend for coffee. In the end it is less about memorising than about recognising.
