My Favorite Iced Green Tea Recipes For Weight Loss

Best Drink For Weight Loss

Below are 2 of my favorite iced green tea recipes.

Apart from containing flavonoids, a plant chemical that’s known for it’s powerful antioxidant properties, these are my favorite weight loss drinks.

CATA (Chinese American Tea Association) suggests these serving tips:

Use purified water. Tap water contains chlorine and other chemicals that can dramatically affect the taste.
Avoid using boiling hot water when you steep your tea. Boiling water may cause the tea to lose its health properties.
Green tea’s delicate taste quality is also better preserved when you don’t bring the water to a full boil.

Rapid Weight Loss Ideas: Green tea is a great source of cancer-fighting catechins, however only 20 percent survive the digestive process and make it out to your body to do it any good. A Purdue University study found that squeezing lemon juice into your green tea toughens up catechins, boosting the number you digest up to 13 times. (Source – Women’s Health)

You can use loose tea leaves or bagged brands.

Decaffeinated green tea is also available for those who wish to avoid caffeine.

Just be sure to adjust these green tea recipes according to the package directions.

** For best results brew green tea the same way you would brew regular tea except that you want to bring your water ‘almost’ to a full boil, but not quite.

My favorite garnishes? Try a thin slice of orange or grapefruit quarters, or depending upon the state of my herb garden, a sprig of fresh spearmint or a sprig of lemon balm leaves.
