Great recipes and very simple! However, doesn't EVERYONE know that green tea is one of the best things for our health, that's not news LOL!

Tea is wonderful and I love it. I recently switched over from being a hardcore coffee drinker to coffee. However, I suffer from (iron deficient)anemia. Recently I've become aware that tea in particular can block the absorption of iron into the bloodstream up to 87%. I was so sick and almost hospitalized. Went to my dr had labs drawn. My dr was amazed how low my blood count was! Even taking 80mg of iron supplements didn't help until I stopped drinking tea. Just a little info if you're a person with iron deficiency.

to tears ofthe_moon: It is NOT all hogwash. I was a very heavy pepsi drinker. Then i was told about this green tea. I bought it and i have drinking it since then. I have lost 10 pounds and i have high blood pressure and cholesterol. It has helped me amazingly. That is MY opinion cause my source of info is my body. Green Tea ROCKS! Good too...you can buy it in the citrus and berry mix flavor. I get it at walmart for $5.98 a case. Not a bad price considering all the health benefits u get with it. I get the Green Tea made by Lipton.

Buying the Lipton Green Tea is a waste of your money, UNLESS you buy it diet. The added sugars nullify the green tea benefits. Buy your OWN green tea bags & make it yourself. It's healthier for you. The more sugar you load up in your tea, whether you drink green, brown or white, the worse the tea is for you. Tea is also a natural diruetic, which makes you go pee more often. I've been a green tea drinker since I was a child. My great-grandmother was told to drink it to lower her blood pressure without medication. It worked & her pressure came down. She also NEVER had any other health issues, outside of a blood wart in her nose in her late 80s. I like the brown & white tea as well. I rotate the 3 kinds every day, making sure to still drink plain water too. The above recipes sound scrumptous & I've copied them into an email to myself to try them soon.

I've always loved green tea. I've bee drinking it for years. During the cold months, I have a hot mug (or two) a morning and when it starts getting warm out I make a big pitcher of it and keep it in the fridge. I always throw some lemon slices in, but I think I'll try the lemonade/green tea mixture.

Great recipes! I would suggest not using tea bags though. Try using fresh loose teas instead, there is a world of difference in quality, flavor, and health benefits. We buy ours at silverleaftea.com but there's lots of places that sell it.

I have enjoyed MANY wonderful teas from Essencha in CIncinnati, OH (I always have something different when I order an in store drink and I usually go home with at least one, usually more loose leaf teas to make at home). Tracy is right, Matcha (a.k.a. Maccha) is a healthy, refreshingly stimulating drink that works well either hot or cold. Her recipe above is FANTASTIC, I highly recommend it even for those who don't particularly care for any green tea!!!!!!!!!!!
