Iced Green Tea - A Great Thirst Quencher
When you are next having a party at your house why not try a healthy and delicious alternative drink, iced green tea on your friends?
Iced green tea is a very simple beverage to offer your guests, and it is packed with health benefits.
An especially good choice if your guests are health conscious and watching their weight.
This drink is actually one of the most famous in Italy, and it is called the granite, or Italian water ice, which is a dessert consisting of shaved ice, sugar, and juice.
Before green tea was not commercially introduced, they were using only black teas and oolongs.
Now there are many parties there which have this drink as their official drink, since many Italians are realizing the health benefits to be gained from green tea nowadays.
Commercial Bottled Iced Green Tea vs. Homemade
Iced green tea as sold in the supermarkets and departmental stores is a purely industrialized version of this healthy drink.
Most products offered as iced green tea either contain too much sugar, or the green tea taste is purely artificial rather than having the original tea in it.
To compromise with the healthy living lifestyle nowadays, most of these drink makers have their own versions of iced green tea, which are sweetened with aspartame and ace-k.
Alternatively, there are still a few companies that make good iced green teas in bottled form. And they even come with additional flavorings that are very safe for ingestion.
For example, there is this green tea drink called the cinnamint green tea, or even the mint cinnamon ginger iced green tea, which can be found on the American Institute for Cancer Research website.
This iced green tea drink is an excellent alternative to soda, which has so many calories and no nutritional value.
Basically iced green tea is a very simple form of drink that you can make yourself in the kitchen, provided you use the correct ratio of green tea to all other ingredients such as cinnamon and coloring.
Besides being a very cooling drink, as tea naturally is, it also helps to supply protective antioxidants and vitamins. All in all, we vote for iced green tea.
