Moroccan Drinks for Any Time of Year

When you’re doing any kind of Moroccan cooking you’ll want to add drinks to the mix. Maybe you already have a favorite drink to add to your meal plans but if you don’t, or you’re looking for something different these suggestions for Moroccan and Moroccan-inspired drinks are a good place to start.

A big choice of Moroccan drinks, as well as drinks inspired by Moroccan cuisine, are represented here and I’m constantly experimenting and adding new ones.

Traditional Moroccan Drinks

Moroccan Mint Tea Recipe

This is one of the most popular drinks is traditional Moroccan tea. It is a combination of Chinese gunpowder tea or green tea, fresh mint leaves, and lots of sugar. While the ingredients themselves are very easy, it’s the technique that goes into preparing the perfect pot. While mint leaves are most common this is also made using a variety of herbs. Don’t forget this is served in small glasses and with an ornate silver teapot and refilled as desired.

How to Make Moroccan Mint Tea with Tea Bags

You can purchase a wide variety of teas that are labeled as Moroccan mint tea bags. These are normally ok, especially if you are in a hurry. If you want to make a more authentic Moroccan tea using tea bags, this post will get you on the right path.

This tea made from herbal infusions is a very popular drink on street corners around the country, especially in the winter months. If you like the idea of trying something different and that will warm you up on a cold winter night, this is the tea for you!

Moroccan Coffee – Nous Nous

Coffee is not as popular as in areas of the Middle East. Traditionally nous nous is drunk by women as part of their afternoon snack time. It’s pretty easy to make especially if you have an espresso machine like a Nespresso. It’s the Moroccan version of cafe au lait.

Non-Alcoholic Drinks – Moroccan Inspired Cocktails

While we choose to not drink alcohol, almost all of these drinks can be made into cocktails by including some type of alcohol. If you prefer this option, choose your favorite liquor and add it in.

However, if you don’t imbibe these are some well-loved non-alcoholic beverages that anyone can enjoy.

A classic drink that’s very popular year-round but especially during Ramadan is this creamy avocado drink. It’s blended with milk and a crowd favorite.

Moroccan Almond Date Milkshake

If avocado isn’t your thing, then try this almond and date milkshake. There’s no ice cream, and you can swap out any type of nut milk if you’d prefer.
