I drank it for months in Morocco, I was sick time to time, and I thought it was similar to camomille tea. But thats my opinion. Now that I know the kind of tea it is, I can go out and buy it, Thanks

Maybe you drank something else, maybe khozaama?
Look, we drink a lot of tisanes in Morocco, so it could be anything? Like I said, if you drank verbena, you would have known. It has a citric lemon-ish scent. The leafs look almost like bayleafs but then thinner.

Well when I lived there, my husbands family would make it for me, they called it Lweesa. Thats all I know about it.

hi, i think the way of making tea it is little different from city to city in morocco , because we make it another way, for 3 glass tea pot, we put 1 medium spoon of chinese green tea and we add half glass of boiling water to the tea pot and we close it for 2 mn and shake it, then we discard the water after that we add frech mint to the tea pot hand full of it then sugar it depends on ur taste, then we add very little amount of orange leaves or those litlle orange flowers, there are white in color they smell so good u can add them at the end, well u take ur tea pot after adding a boiling water again and stiring nicely , u can taste it, if u like it more strong , u can put it on the stove let it boil for a few minutes, then stir again and thats it, here is the tea. ( u can also add fliyou or cheeba very little amount of them but i dont know the name in english) ..it work with me the other way too and i like it!!!
