10 New Recipes with Green Tea
One doesn’t need to drink green tea only the traditional way to reap its health benefits. You can easily add it to your daily food with these new and innovative recipes.

Health Benefits of Green Tea
Native to China and India, the health benefits of green tea have found their popularity in the US only recently. Green tea is made from un-oxidized leaves and is one of the less processed types of tea (with white tea being the least) and therefore, contains one of the most important antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols. Here are some unique and delicious ways to incorporate green tea in your meals. Image Courtesy: Getty
