Recipe: Hot And Spicy Green Tea

 Antioxidant-Rich Hot And Spicy Green Tea With Lemon

This is one of my favourite drinks and take it most time in the morning. Green tea is high in powerful flavonoid antioxidants, which provides several potential health benefits, such as  heart disease prevention, cancer, radiant skin and lots more. Green tea has been shown to support  and increase weight loss while lemon juice (freshly squeezed) has been shown to boost green tea’s antioxidants, making them more bioavailable for absorption. Lemon juice promotes metabolism and can increase the quantity catechins your body extracts from green tea, up to six times. While compounds in tea can hinder iron absorption from foods in your diet, drinking green tea with lemon lessens that effect.

The hot allspice is a great addition to spice things up! It support metabolism too. See how make African Allspice
