Besides, can Mormons drink tea?

Mormons believe God revealed in 1833 the foods and substances that are good and bad for people to consume. Liquor, tobacco, tea and coffee were prohibited.

Additionally, what type of tea can Mormons have? Ephedra, popularly known in the western U.S. as “desert tea,” “Mormon tea,” “squaw tea,” or “Mexican tea,” contains no harmful alkaloids but is high in vitamin C. If taken in large quantities it decreases the heart rate and thus may decrease blood pressure.

Likewise, people ask, can LDS drink green tea?

Drinking green tea is generally considered a violation of the Word of Wisdom (the common name for a certain section of the Doctrine & Covenants which lays out the dietary & general health laws), and will keep you from holding a temple recommend. So in that sense, no, Mormons can't drink green tea.

Can LDS drink iced tea?

GREEN TEA AND ICED TEA The only difference is that the leaves in black tea are fermented and in green tea they're not. They're both tea and against the Word of Wisdom. Some drinks have tea in them but don't advertise that fact, so always check the ingredients. Also, iced tea is still tea.
