Green Tea



There is lot of evidence touting the health benefits of green tea
that it reduces cholesterol, full of anti-oxidants etc etc. Well as for me, the subtle flavor induced by green tea makes the warm water drinkable.


The Tea Companion books is an excellent resource guide on all kinds of tea found around the world.

Preparation

Take one spoon of tea and add warm water (about 80 F) to the cup. Let it
stand for 3-4 minutes. Separate the green leaves and use it for preparing
another cup. Don't add milk or sugar. Drink as is, a sip at a time. Enjoy the
different
flavors each sip induces.

You can add a wedge of lemon to green tea. This is especially good in times of cold. You can use a tea cup as one in the picture above or a tea infuser to make a cup of green tea.
