5 Tips for Sipping Tea1. To get the full effect and taste of the tea, drink it without sweetener or use a natural sweetener like Stevia or honey2. Allow the tea to steep for up to five minutes, but avoid over-brewing which could damage the nutrients3. Drink tea on an empty stomach to fully absorb the nutrients from the food – never before or immediately following a meal4. If you are a coffee-lover and are trying to wean yourself off, try substituting one cup each day with a cup of green tea. Once you are comfortable with one cup per day, increase it to two and so on.5. Just like any other natural food like vegetables, buying organic is best.
