Masala Lemon Green Tea

Green tea is well known for its benefits around the world. It is extremely rich in anti-oxidants. Green tea is a health tonic known to Chinese for its medical benefits which they used to treat a headache, depression and almost everything. Today scientists and researchers, both in Asia and West have come out with hard evidence to prove the health benefits of green tea. Green tea is well known for not only inhibiting cancer cells growth but also to kill them. Green tea can be helpful in the cure of many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, infection and impaired immune functions. So let's make a power packed green tea preparation to cleanse our system.

Here I present my own recipe for green tea. I drink decaffeinated green tea because caffeine makes me sick. You can use the regular green tea if it suits you. I have been drinking green tea for almost 10 years now and it is my best beverage. I have always seen people drinking lemon/lime green tea and many other flavors, but I like to drink my own style.

In her book Green Tea: The Natural Secret for a Healthier Life, Nadine Taylor states that green tea has been used as a medicine in China for at least 4,000 years.

I get the benefits from fresh lemon/lime juice and the fascinating flavor. Black pepper adds the spicy touch to the tea and is good for refreshing the mind and mood. I prefer rock salt instead of sugar or regular salt. It is better to avoid sweet where ever possible. Daily food provides enough regular salt so we don’t need to take it in our drinks either. Rock salt is beneficial for digestion and keeps my digestive system going smooth. Here is my favorite Masala Green Tea. Cherish your cuppa TEA
