Why you should drink

Most of us can't get through our day without those milky blends of tea but there's a new kid in town bursting with flavours - green tea. This delicate, clear brew is creating a storm in a teacup owing to its superpowers.

It tastes good. If you're not wild about the flavour, try a few different kinds. Try it iced or hot. Add some of the natural herb stevia to sweeten it if you want a sweeter drink. I wasn't crazy about green tea the first few times I tried it, but now I love it with a fresh squeeze of lemon and a few drops of stevia over ice-voila! Green tea le`monade. Mmmmm.

Even green tea haters love this drink. The list of green tea benefits runs long - it helps in weight loss, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, reduces bad cholesterol, blood pressure, throat infections, boosts memory and also helps if you're trying to quit smoking! To top it all off, green tea also helps prevent signs of ageing and wrinkles.
