Gazelle horns, chebakia, ghriba, or fekkas: each recipe calls for a different balance of ingredients. Here are some simple guidelines for balancing sugar, spices, almonds, and honey without masking the flavors.<\/p><\/div>

Moroccan tea and pastries: seeking contrast rather than excess<\/h2>

The most versatile choice is still a green tea<\/a> Lively and not very bitter, served plain or with a few mint leaves.<\/strong> Its freshness balances the sweetness and allows the flavors of almonds, sesame, orange blossom, or honey to shine through. With a delicate pastry like the gazelle horn, choose a mild herbal tea; with a chebakia rich in honey and spices, opt for a tea with more body. For ghribas and fekkas, a well-rounded or slightly minty green tea works particularly well.<\/p>

A good pairing isn't about combining the strongest flavors. Rather, it seeks contrast: the warmth of the cake and the liveliness of the tea, honey and a hint of bitterness, the richness of dried fruit and the freshness of mint. The right cup of tea complements each bite, then refreshes the palate before the next one.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
