Green Teas

Iced Green Tea

Pour one cup of boiling water over two tea bags, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes (5 to 10 minutes or longer for the Decaf Green Tea with Ginseng or Ginkgo & Decaf Green Tea). For stronger flavor, steep longer, or use more tea bags. Remove and squeeze out tea bags. Add ice and enjoy. Make a larger quantity using more tea bags and water, and refrigerate the rest to drink throughout the day.

Green Tea Concentrate

Make green tea concentrate ahead of time to prepare hot or iced tea at a moments notice. Pour one cup of boiling water over three tea bags, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes (5 to 10 minutes or longer for the Decaf Green Tea with Ginseng or Ginkgo & Decaf Green Tea). Remove and squeeze out the tea bags. Refrigerate until ready to use. Add 2/3 cup of water to every 1/3 cup of concentrate to reconstitute your tea; heat just until hot for hot tea, or add ice for iced tea.

Green Tea Recipes

Use any Triple Leaf Green or Decaf Green Teas in recipes calling for green tea. You can experiment and see which one you like the best.

Fruit Smoothie with Green Tea

Add a little prepared concentrated green tea to your fruit smoothie for an antioxidant boost. Pour 1/3 cup of boiling water over one tea bag, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes (5 to 10 minutes or longer for the Decaf Green Tea with Ginseng or Ginkgo & Decaf Green Tea blends), remove and squeeze out tea bag, let cool, and use in place of some of the liquid in your smoothie.

Black Tea: Cholesterid - Yunnan Tuocha Tea

Iced Black Tea

Pour one cup of boiling water over two tea bags, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes. For stronger flavor, steep longer, or use more tea bags. Remove and squeeze out tea bags. Add ice and enjoy. Make a larger quantity using more tea bags and water, and refrigerate the rest to drink throughout the day.

Black Tea Concentrate

Make Cholesterid Yunnan Tuocha Tea concentrate ahead of time to prepare hot or iced tea at a moments notice. Pour one cup of boiling water over three tea bags, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Steep longer for a stronger flavor. Remove and squeeze out tea bags. Refrigerate until ready to use. Add 2/3 cup of water to every 1/3 cup of concentrate to reconstitute your tea; heat just until hot for hot tea, or add ice for iced tea.

Black Tea Recipes

Use Triple Leaf Tea's Cholesterid Tea, made from 100% Yunnan Tuocha Tea, for any recipe calling for black tea. Its mild, non-acidic taste will add a unique flavor.

Ginger Tea (100% ginger root)

Ginger-Ale

Brew a cup of very strong Triple Leaf Ginger Tea by adding two tea bags to one cup of boiling water and boil for a couple minutes. Let steep 5 to 10 minutes, or longer, then remove and squeeze out the tea bags, add some honey and stir. Add a little lemon juice, some sparkling mineral water and ice for a delightful beverage. Re-use the ginger tea bags for maximum benefit and to extract all of their spicy taste.

Grated or Chopped Ginger in Recipes

Use Triple Leaf 100% Ginger Root Tea whenever you need grated or chopped fresh or dried ginger in a recipe. Simply open a tea bag, remove the ginger, and use it as is. If your recipe calls for fresh ginger, remember to use less dried ginger, since dried is more concentrated. Try ¹ to 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger from the tea bag when your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger.

American Ginseng Tea (100% ginseng root)

Ginseng-Ale

Brew a cup of very strong ginseng tea by adding two tea bags to one cup of boiling water and boiling for a couple minutes. Let steep 5 to 10 minutes, or longer, then remove and squeeze out the tea bags, add some honey and stir. Add sparkling mineral water and a little lemon or lime juice, if desired, plus ice for a delightful beverage. Re-use the ginseng tea bags for maximum benefit.

Fruit Smoothie with Ginseng

Add a little prepared concentrated American Ginseng Tea to your fruit smoothie for an antioxidant boost. Add one tea bag to 1/3 cup of water and boil for a couple minutes. Let steep 5 to 10 minutes, or longer, then remove and squeeze out the tea bag, let cool, and use in place of some of the liquid in your smoothie. Re-use your ginseng tea bags to get the maximum benefit.

Vegetable Juice With Ginseng

Add a little prepared concentrated American Ginseng Tea to your vegetable juice (see Fruit Smoothie with Ginseng above). Try adding it to carrot juice, mixed vegetable juice, tomato juice, etc.

Chicken or Vegetable Soup with Ginseng, Chinese-Style

Use ginseng the way that Chinese people do. Open a tea bag, remove the ginseng and add it to the pot while cooking chicken or vegetable soup for an extra health-supporting boost.

Medicinal Teas

All Triple Leaf Tea's medicinal teas can be prepared hot or iced; try them with lemon and your favorite sweetener, or mix with fruit juices for variety. Remember to re-use your tea bags to get all of their benefits.

On page 140, Nadine reviews Triple Leaf Tea's Green Teas. An excerpt follows:

"Green (Premium) Tea. Refreshing and bracing, this tea is the real thing just tea leaves, nothing added. The resultant brew is greenish-golden color with a satisfying, delicious, and mildly astringent taste."

"Jasmine Green Tea. This light and fragrant green tea really smells like flowers, and its yellow-green brew goes down smoothly without a hint of bitterness. "

The three decaf green tea/tea blends were not available at the time this book was written, so were not included in her review.

A Soothing Soup

You will find this recipe at: http://www.healthwell.com/delicious-online/D_Backs/Nov_98/10365_s3.cfm?path=hw

"Most of us intuitively eat differently during a cold or flu, avoiding heavy meals in favor of comforting foods like soup. This recipe not only brings a sense of warmth to the tummy but it also gives the immune system a boost. "

Simmer:
one-half cup cut carrots
one-half cup cut beets
two-inch piece of ginger root in enough water to make a thin soup
(or use 1 to 2 tea bags of Triple Leaf Tea's 100 % Ginger Root Tea:
simply open the tea bags, remove the ginger inside and use as is)

1. When the vegetables and ginger are tender but not mushy, add
one cup of chopped greens such as kale or spinach.
2. Liberally spice the soup with 2 to 3 cloves chopped garlic just before serving.
3. Avoid cooking the garlic as it will decrease its cold-fighting power.
