Mint Iced Green Tea

Green Tea ! I have read a lot of benefits of green tea , whether its about slimming , improving metabolism, helps fight cancer and diabetes,reduces signs of aging to destroys the bacteria causing tooth decay.

I love to drink hot green tea with lime, or with honey however my son doesnot drink it. Somehow want him to drink something healthy against his crave for aerated cold drinks. By the way green tea reminds me always of one of my close friend. I tried different ways of making my son drink , with honey , with ginger , with herbs , finally he loved MINT ICED GREEN TEA.Not sure why he liked this compared to other versions , whether its the flavor of mint and lemon or because it was chilled as far as he drinks ...i'm happy !!
