Green Tea
The jury is still out whether green tea is indeed some sort of superfood. There is an article published in the NHS Choice website entitled Green tea: the elixir of life or just hype?
It is a very good reading, very informative. You have to judge for yourself whether green tea is what it is cracked up to be.
Anyway superfood or what, green tea is a refreshing beverage.
Here is a recipe that will cool you down, if the summer sun here in the UK will ever show up! 🙁
Green Tea Cooler
Ingredients:
6 tsp green tea leaves or 2 green teabags
2 cups of either fresh apple juice or peach juice
4 tsp of honey
Method of preparation:
Pour into a teapot 1 cup of boiling water onto the tea leaves or tea bags. Leave it to brew for 3-5 minutes.
Strain into a couple of tall glasses. An old trick my mother told me was to put a metal spoon on the glass to prevent it cracking from the hot temperature of the water.
Leave the green tea to cool.
Add the apple or peach juice. Stir in the honey.
Finally, add ice-cubes.
Enjoy!
