Pairing Couscous correctly — a note on orange blossom water drink

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Couscous. I ordered it with orange blossom water drink and the warmly spiced and aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. argan oil in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Moroccan cuisine draws from Berber, Arab, Andalusian, and French influences. The a medina restaurant is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Couscous with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
