What Can I Make With Green Tea?
I know Green Tea is good for you. I’ve read about the Benefits of Green Tea and even the Green Tea Diet.
But, honestly — BLECK. I KNOW it’s good for me, but it tastes NASTY. (Yes, I sound like my 4 year old right now, when she has to eat her vegetables. lol)
So, are there are tricks to brewing green tea? Any ways to make it less bitter? I’d love to reap the rewards of this amazing drink, but I need some help to get the green tea into my system without too much suffering.
Can I bake with it? Are there drink recipes that make green tea taste good? I’d love to hear it.

If your tea is bitter, you are putting in too many tea leaves, or you are brewing it for too long.
It should be fairly pale in color and should not be bitter. Just try using less tea or steeping it for a shorter period of time.

Add a mint or citrus tea bag when you brew green tea and a touch of honey or stevia.

Also- green tea ice cream is good. My dh loves iced green tea too.

I’m with Carrie, either mint or honey in green tea is wonderful.

I agree, honey makes anything better. I also will add a little milk, it dilutes some of the “tea” flavor.

I used to feel the same, until I started making iced tea with it…I love to serve it over ice (of course)…and top it off with a little apple juice. Yum if you ask me.

Like Jayna said, how you brew your tea greatly affects its taste. Tea should not be bitter. The temperature and the time you steep it should be appropriate to your tea.
