Green tea for health
We all know that green tea has excellent health benefits. These include – but are not limited to – antioxidant benefits, stimulating the metabolism, increasing energy levels, improving brain function, and even easing hangovers. But if you’re like me, you happen to despise the taste of plain hot (or cold) herbal green tea.
Introducing newer, better tasting green tea beverages. Wandering through my local health food market, I came across two suitable alternatives to those bitter-tasting tea
bags. Glaceau has formulated a Vitamin Water that contains green tea extract, and is infused with many other vitamins and minerals (hence the name). The taste is clearly green tea, but is sweetened by crystalline fructose syrup, which creates a much more pleasant flavor. Secondly, Steaz has what they call a Green Tea Ginger Ale soda. Sounds weird, but tastes exactly as described – green tea, ginger ale, and that cool zing of soda bubbles. Omitting high fructose corn syrup (a very unhealthy sweetener) but sweetened by natural cane sugar instead, this is a healthy choice for your green tea cravings.
