Green tea is one of the super foods that has become oh-so-popular recently. Being calorie-free, an outstanding source of antioxidants and having numerous other health benefits, including green tea in your everyday routine has become essential. I am not going further into the health benefits of green tea, because we all know it by now. 🙂
Other than as a plain drink, here are some tasty ways to add this super food to your meal.
As Tea But A Tastier Version (Minus The Refined Sugar!)
• Throw in some mint leaves & cinnamon, pour some honey and squeeze in half a lemon into brewed green tea.
• Enjoy the warm concoction.
• Or make everything cold and enjoy an iced tea.
As A Smoothie (No Milk *Claps*)
• Combine cold brewed green tea with a banana, some spinach leaves, a few strawberries, yogurt, a few nuts that you like and blitzzzz it.
• Nutrition, here I come!
In Your Curries, Rice And Whatever Requires Water To Be Cooked
• Brew a large pot of green tea and use this water for all your cooking instead of plain water. Strike a balance so that others don’t know that you have used green tea in your cooking.
• Health and convenience in one.
As A Fizzy Drink (Bye Bye Coke)
• Combine cold brewed green tea with fresh juices like pomegranate, orange, pineapple, watermelon or just about anything you like.
• Add an ounce of soda. This is a great replacement for fizzy drinks.
As Food
• Grind green tea leaves and add them while kneading the dough for your rotis or pancakes.
• There are so many recipes available now like green tea glazed salmon, green tea cheese cakes, breads, cookies and what not. Experiment!

Interesting ways, living in Japan I have realised that green tea is almost available in anything and everything! Tea, ice-cream, sundae, cakes, cookies, etc. etc. Lovely post!
