Red and Yellow, Blue and White…

My beloved green tea has come through again. Like a champ. Some sort of cranky, straggly little bug has been making the rounds and knocking people off of their feet for about a week. I only got a hint of it, myself, and chased it off with mega doses of green tea.

As soon as I felt it coming on, I drank green tea as though I’d never have the opportunity to do so again. I literally felt better within hours. The congestion cleared, the coughing eased, and the general feeling of “ugh” lifted.

I convinced my daughter, Emily, that Green Tea was friend rather than foe and she also chased the bug away.

If you absolutely, positively can’t stand the taste of green tea (rookie!), try the following:

Combine one bag of green tea and one bag of Tazo Passion tea in your mug. The Passion tea, which is extra delicious wins out in the battle of taste supremacy. It’s all you’ll taste.
When brewing water for your green tea, it’ll taste much better if you turn the kettle off before the water actually boils. I don’t know why it makes a difference, but it surely does.
Lemon, lemon, lemon, lemon.
Sweeten your green tea with honey – enough honey can quiet the nerves of even the most fearful.
Celestial Seasonings makes a FANTASTIC Candy Cane Lane Green Tea (image above). It’s a Holiday Edition, unfortunately, so you’d better stock up now. All of their holiday teas are superb and each are very worthy of stockpiling.

While on the subject of healthy eating and drinking, I have a short but fact-filled article I’d love for you to take a look at. It gives a run down of why you should make sure your diet is colorful enough. It’s from Prevention.com and even includes recipes. Click the link below, then rush to the produce aisle of your grocery store. The sweet potatoes are expecting you!
