Another thing I want to do on this blog, is to occasionally put down some diet things that sound exciting to me. I was reading a book that talks about the health benefits of certain foods, and came across something that actually incorporated green tea, yet sounded tasty!
The health benefits of green tea are widely known, but for those of you who are a little less informed, let me mention a few:
- Reduces weight while fighting off a variety of diseases.
- It increases exercise endurance.
- It inhibits the enzymes that help turn food into fat.
Anyhow, try out this tasty recipe, and see if it makes it a little more appetizing...
GREEN TEA REFRESHMENT
2 tbs. green tea leaves
2 cups apple or peach juice
4 tsp. honey (which is optional)
Pour 1 cup boiled water onto the tea leaves and brew for 3-5 minutes; strain into a pitcher and leave to cool. Stir in the juice and honey, then pour over ice and serve. In glasses, silly. Not on the counter.
Anyhow, this sure sounds like a tasty summer treat, that is hopped up with goodness. Not just goodness, but GREEN GOODNESS!
Try it out, and let me know what you think...
