Best way to prepare green tea?
(today’s post: 247 words)
I love green tea. OK, I don’t *love* green tea, but I love the apparent health benefits and I enjoy the taste enough to love it as a whole. I say this because I feel it’s time to come clean and admit my burgeoning addiction.
So where does this come from? I’ll say Devin.
Devin works until midnight or 1AM. During our recent NJ visit, Candice and I, and oftentimes Dom, would start the night with a Wawa run as soon as Devin got off so he could grab some herbal tea (and us some snacks). I’d been thinking about green tea (thanks to the plethora of online articles touting its health appeal) and one night, while Devin got his herbal, I grabbed a green tea.
It was great. I got a good, non-jittery caffeine buzz from it. And I had no trouble getting to bed that night.
I’ve had green tea almost every day since. Recently, I tried Lipton’s iced green tea and that’s pretty tasty, but it may not be as healthy. Maybe I’ll make my own like the site suggests.
And that leads me to a question.
Do you like green tea? If so, how do you drink it? I’ve been pouring a spoon of honey into the bottom of a cup, dropping in one tea bag, and then filling the (14oz) cup with boiling water. I leave the bag in while the cup cools for 20 minutes or so, stir it, and drink.

You know, we do have an iced tea maker thingy if you want to experiment. I’ve never even used the thing
1I did not know (or remember)! Ooh!
I guess I can look up recipes since it seems no one was willing to share any with me. *pout*
