The mint green tea beverage is refreshing and purifying, prepared cold without boiling the water — perfect for quenching your thirst during the summer season and for breaks. I learned this method from a television program several years ago and now I often prepare it this way. As you know, especially in summer with the high temperatures we drink a lot and our supplies of drinks are never enough. Sometimes we even forget to buy them or can’t, but I believe we all have tea bags in our pantry — in fact, we have them in every variety. Since I was told that green tea helps flatten the belly and reduces bloating, it is always in my supplies. The aroma of fresh mint was a brilliant idea. I find it pleasant to refresh myself with this drink several times a day. I make it in abundance so I can also offer it to guests, who usually appreciate it.

The mint green tea beverage, which is normally prepared with hot water, I must say that when prepared cold I find it even more pleasant. It is economical compared to what we buy in supermarkets since two or three tea bags are enough for a liter of water, and it is simple to make. You just have to make it in advance.
