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.

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.

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.

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

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.
