News about the excellent benefits of drinking green tea:
http://www.emaxhealth.com/77/2622.htmlGreen Tea LatteThe medicinal benefits of green tea have been well documented. We are now seeing green tea used in a variety of foods such as cookies, puddings, cakes, smoothies, and now, lattes. Just imagine sipping on a hot or cold drink while also fighting disease such as cancer, arthritis, cholesterol, and cardiovascular.

Green Tea Latte Recipe
4 cups cold water4-5 green tea bags (or 3 tsp matcha - green tea powder)
1 cup chilled milk, (or 1/2 cup soy or regular 2% milk)
4 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
Boil water and then add green tea bags. Seep the tea for three to five minutes, removing the bags and discarding. In blender, blend the milk so it is frothy. Pour the tea into individual serving cups and then to each, add 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar of honey. To the tea mixture, add frothy milk. A helpful tip when brewing green tea is to retain the flavor while not losing the health benefits. For this, we recommend you use one tea bag for each cup of water. For the water, start with cold water, bringing it to a boil. As soon as the water reaches the boil point, remove it from the heat source and let is stand for three minutes. Then, add the tea bags and allow them to seep for three to five minutes, or place a tea bag into a serving cup, pouring the boiled water on top.
