7 Tempting Ingredients to Add to Your Green Tea ...

I've always enjoyed green tea, but having recently really fallen in love with it, I've been looking for all sorts of ingredients to add to your green tea. I know all the rhetoric about how it tastes great on its own, but I've never taken tea on its own. Call it a throwback to my iced-tea-soaked Southern childhood, when every ice cold glass was flavored with sugar, lemon, and whatever fruit happened to be in season. I like add-ins, you know? And if you do too, I think your palate will be quite pleased with some these delicious ingredients to add to your green tea!

1. Lemon Juice

yellow,food,citrus,produce,fruit, Lemon juice is unquestionably one of the most common ingredients to add to your green tea. It's popular for a reason, though: it's delicious. It creates a wonderful, refreshing bite that mixes very well with the natural taste. Besides, you get a double-dose of health benefits when you go with lemon juice. Green tea is great for you anyway, and the lemon gives you all that Vitamin C!

2. Fruit

food,yellow,plant,fruit,produce, If lemon isn't your thing, or if you like mixing it with other things, you can also add all sorts of fruit to your green tea. Fresh or frozen, add in some berries or peach slices; just muddle them a little in the bottom of your cup, so you get a full burst of flavor. Apple and green tea pair wonderfully together, especially green apples, and I've heard that a pear adds a lot of flavor but I haven't tried it myself yet. Have you?

Vanilla is a popular ingredient to add to green tea, as it adds a creamy, sweet flavor to the beverage. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used on its own or paired with other flavors such as fruits or other suggested ingredients. Adding vanilla to green tea is a great way to enhance the flavor of the tea without overpowering it.

Vanilla is a natural flavor that is derived from the seed pods of the vanilla orchid. The pods are then dried and cured to bring out the flavor. Vanilla extract is made by steeping the cured pods in alcohol and water. Vanilla extract is commonly used in baking and cooking, but it can also be used to add flavor to beverages such as green tea.

Vanilla is known to have a calming effect and can help reduce stress. Studies have also shown that it can help improve focus and concentration. It is a great addition to green tea as it can provide a calming and relaxing effect.

Ginger is a root that has a wide variety of uses. It's been used for centuries as a medicinal herb, and is known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-microbial properties. It's also been used to treat nausea, indigestion, and morning sickness. Adding ginger to your green tea is a great way to get the benefits of ginger without having to consume large amounts of it. Ginger can also add a unique and spicy flavor to your tea, making it a great way to switch up your normal tea routine. Whether you add it fresh or dried, ginger makes a great addition to your green tea.

Green tea is phenomenal on its own, but you can always make it better by tailoring it to your tastes. I know a lot of people who also add fresh herbs and spices, such as lavender, rosemary, pineapple sage, and even basil. What do you like adding to your green tea, or do you prefer it pure?
