Green
tea is something that I have been wanting to try for a while now. But I
continued to put it off as I had cut out caffeine (I limit myself to one drink
with caffeine in per day. Some days I have none) changed from milk to soya in
my tea, coffee & drinks and then eventually almond milk in my cereals.
The main reason I have been wanting to try
Green Tea is because I constantly hear about how good it is for you. With all
of its antioxidants etc.
I
wanted to gradually & gently set myself into a new routine and new way of
drinking and eating. I am well set on my no caffeine, soya and almond milk now.
Don't miss milk at all to be honest and cant really tell the difference in my
drinks & food.
One thing I have really noticed is that my
stomach does not feel as bloated and erm, things 'movement' wise are going
better than they have before. This makes me wonder if I had a sensitivity to
milk? Not sure, but things are going better now.
Anyways,
back to green tea! Like I said, I have wanted to try it for a long while and I
finally took the plunge & picked a box of 40 Pure Green Tea bags up whilst
doing our food shopping. My Mr looked at the box & turned his nose up
straight away! Lol. I decided to have a small cup of Green Tea after dinner,
when we normally have a cuppa. Got to be honest, I wasn't completely sold on
it!
When I
was pouring the water on top of the tea bag, I was expecting to smell...
Garden! Lol. Nope, no garden smell. Good start. :) Then I took the tiniest of
sips possible... I couldn't taste it. Flip it. Gulp. Shut eyes. Expected to be
revolting... No, not at all. Its quite pleasant actually!! All that build up
for a rather pleasant drink. Hahaha. That's it I'm sold! I think its going to
be my morning and evening drink.
Now
that I have tried Green Tea, I am rather keen to try some others. Preferably no
caffeine. Next step, I am thinking of Peppermint Green Tea, or Lemon Green Tea
just for a little kick in it. Then maybe a Camomile Tea... There are loads to
try!
Have
