How to Make Green TeaI`ve been drinking Japanese green tea for over 20 years and it is very healthy! Dr. Andrew Weil reports that it is a great source of catechins which are antioxidants that inhibit cancer. Moreover there are more benefits of Green Tea: * Lowers cholesterol levels and risk of heart disease *Protects against some infections *Promotes joint health and stronger bones *Reduces inflammation *Enhances the effects of antibiotics - even against "superbugs." Probably the best way to enjoy green tea is by studying tea ceremony while you are in Japan. Then the drinking of green tea becomes much more, a meditation, as opposed to just a healthful drink. It comes in many varieties so try some different kinds to find your favorite. How to make Japanese Green Tea?* Measure out 5 g of green tea leaves for every cup you want to make.* Put the leaves in your tea strainer * Put the strainer in your empty cup * Pour the heated water into the cup and over the leaves. * Leave the leaves for 2-3 minutes * Allow the tea to cool a little and enjoy! You might also enjoy more finely ground green tea called Matcha. It is pronounced: "macha." The `a` is a soft like a British pronunciation of octopus. A student introduced me to
