Iced Green Tea
Quenching Your Thirst with Iced Green Tea
Iced green tea is one of the simplest beverages you can make,
yet very healthy and a good choice for such a party, especially
when everyone might be having lots of fatty foods and so on.
This type of drink is in fact very famous in Italy, and it
is called the granite, or Italian water ice, which is a dessert
consisting of shaved ice, sugar, and juice. Before green tea
was discovered, they were using only black teas and oolongs,
but today, there are many parties there which have this drink
as their official drink, since many Italians are realizing
the health benefits to be gained from tea nowadays.
Those sold in the supermarkets and departmental stores are
simply industrialized version of this healthy drink. Most
of them either contain too much sugar, or the green tea taste
is merely artificial than having the original tea in it. To
compromise with the healthy living lifestyle of today, most
of these drink manufacturers have their own versions of diet
green tea, which are sweetened with aspartame and ace-k.
On the other hand, there are still a few companies which
make good iced green teas in bottled form. And they even come
with extra flavorings which are very safe for ingestion. For
instance, there is this green tea drink called the cinnamint
green tea, or even the mint cinnamon ginger iced green tea,
which can be easily found on the American Institute for Cancer
Research website. This iced green tea drink makes an excellent
alternative to soda, which has so many calories and no nutritional
value.
Basically this iced green tea is a very simple drink where
you can make yourself in your home, just as long as you use
the correct ratio of green tea to all other ingredients such
as cinnamon and coloring. Other than being cooling drink,
as tea naturally is, it also helps to supply protective antioxidants
and vitamins.
