How to make green tea

You will have heard the benefits of green tea (may support a healthy heart, less caffeine than coffee and zero calories when unsweetened), but what about the taste? Learn how to prepare green tea to be proud of. With these easy steps you can banish bitterness and stay hydrated with Lipton Green Tea.

How long to steep green tea

1. Boil the drinking water and allow to cool slightly for 2-3 mins, this slightly cooler water will get the best out of your delicate tea leaves.

2. Pour the water onto the teabag to release its delicious aroma.

3. Leave the teabag to infuse for up to 2 minutes. If you like a stronger taste, you can brew a little longer but watch out: over-brewing can cause bitterness.

4. Remove the teabag and enjoy your deliciously refreshing Lipton Green Tea!

Top tip: allow to cool and add ice to enjoy a DIY Lipton Iced Green Tea on a hot day. 

Now that you know how to make green tea, maybe you’re wondering when to drink green tea for weight loss or for its general health benefits. Green tea is high in tannins, so we recommend you don’t drink it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. You can enjoy Lipton Green Tea throughout the day. Drink a cup of Lipton Pure Green Tea 1-2 hours after eating breakfast and another 1-2 hours after lunch to maximise those green tea benefits. Two cups of unsweetened green tea a day in place of calorific drinks will help you to stay in shape.
