FAQs

Can I use tea bags instead of loose green tea leaves?

Absolutely! If you have tea bags, you can use them instead of loose green tea leaves. Just use 4 tea bags to get the same strong taste.

Can I use other types of tea?

Of course! While the usual recipe uses green tea, you can try using black tea or even a mix of teas to get different flavors.

How to store Moroccan Mint Tea??

Put it in a sealed container in the fridge. It’ll stay good for up to 24 hours. When you want more, you can heat it up or pour it over ice.

Does this Moroccan tea contain any caffeine?

Yes, Moroccan Mint Tea typically contains caffeine. Green tea, which is a key ingredient in this tea, naturally contains caffeine.

However, the caffeine content in a cup of Moroccan Mint Tea is generally lower compared to black tea or coffee. If you’re looking for a lower-caffeine option, you can opt for using decaffeinated green tea or reducing the amount of green tea in the recipe.

Kitchen Equipment:

• Teapot
• Kettle or pot for boiling water
• Strainer
• Teacups or glasses

To make the recipe just right, you should feel like you’re in Morocco. For that, you’ll need a special teapot from Morocco. You can buy the one I got on Amazon.
