Green tea doesn’t need to taste disgusting. I used to drink green tea for a long time and this is how I make it:
I never use boiling water. It needs some 80 deegrees C to be good.
The leaves only stay in the water for some 3 to 5 minutes. Then I remove them. They can be used again and again, still tasting quite well.
Never take too much leaves. It would be bitter. A teaspoon a cup is just enough.
I hope I have helped.
I love the taste of green tea. In fact I really enjoy Lipton’s Green Ice Tea in the summer. It’s very refreshing and makes a nice change from regular ice tea.
I enjoy green tea very much, although it doesn’t seem to mix well at all with medicinal herbs.
My roommate and I wanted to make a fusion of dandelion, nettles, and liquorice root, which normally wouldn’t taste too bad, but once they were mixed with the green tea leaves…yuck!
I’ve never really liked green tea…I prefer Earl Grey. Smells like Fruit Loops, and it’s good for you. Though I probably drink about 8-10 cups a day with milk and sugar, enough to erase any of the health benefits
You gotta try all different teas (I LOVE tea, but I despise Chai tea)!! They ALL (rooibos, green, white, black, oolong, maté, herbal, etc.) taste different and have different affects on the body/mind/whatever.
(and IMO are much more refreshing, relaxing, and mentally stimulating than coffee and energy drinks)
