How to Make Green Tea Taste Better

The health benefits of green tea, which is a cornerstone of several diet and healthy lifestyle plans, are numerous. But many people do not like the taste of green tea and, therefore, stay away from this healthy hot beverage. Fortunately, this does not mean that they will never be able to enjoy and benefit from having green tea. There are several ways to make the tea taste better, which involve either adding natural flavors or adjusting brewing time.

Things You'll Need

• Green tea
• Fresh lemon or bottled lemon juice
• Mint leaves
• Pomegranate juice
• Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Put a slice of fresh lemon into your green tea or add half of a teaspoon of bottled lemon juice if you are a citrus lover.

2. Put fresh mint leaves into a cup of newly brewed green tea. The hot water will bring out the leaves' invigorating flavor.

3. Mix half of a teaspoon of pomegranate juice into your tea to sweeten it. A small drop of vanilla extract will also sweeten the tea.

4. Avoid brewing for more than two minutes if you do not like the taste of strong green tea. Dilute with warm water if necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Many brands sell green tea with already added flavors such as citrus. If the taste of green tea simply does not agree with you, try green tea supplement pills sold in health food shops and vitamin centers.
