Honey is sweet.
I’ve been drinking a lot of herbal teas since Christmas, as part of my January detox programme. I’m sure others are doing the same.
Is drinking green tea with echinacea or green tea with ginseng going to help detox me? I don’t honestly know. The BBC reports not. But there can’t be anything wrong with ingesting herbs, and we know green tea contains anti-oxidants. Additionally, it means I’m not drinking tea with milk, so I’d imagine the lack of dairy is helping too.
Anyway, my number one tip for drinking green tea is to put a small amount of honey in.
I don’t have sugar in normal tea, but a third of a teaspoon of honey in green tea really makes it much more refreshing. Although honey apparently isn’t any better than sugar, it seems like it to me, and that, after all, is what matters, non?
