Please help educate me about green tea

[Ellen aka Snow White]

Is this made hot or cold or both?? I have seen it mentioned many times by people wanting to lose weight. I don't like hot drinks and want to know if I can fix it cold. Thanks! Ellen

I have seen green tea made both ways, although I have only made it hot myself. But, I do know that they sell it along with the power drinks and it is cold (usually with some type of juice or honey added). The cold drinks are good, but you have to watch the calories because of what is added to the tea.

Try brewing it and then chilling it to see if you like it. If you haven't had it before, it does have a different taste than black tea and may take getting used to. I like it, but that's me.

I can not stand the taste of green tea. It literally makes me shudder. I do however take a multivitamin with it in it. Not sure it is helping, but I will try anyway.

It's generally made hot - but I find you have to let it cool quite a lot to reach the exact moment for it to be palateable. You could probably brew it, then cool it down and serve it with ice. Take hte teabags out after a few minutes though, if it's left to overbrew it gets very bitter. Also, the taste really does improve if you add lemon juice.

Does it help with weight loss?
