Green tea with mint
Description
Green tea is known for its beneficial properties. It contains antioxidants, as well as caffeine, so it will refresh and invigorate you. In the hot version of this recipe, honey and tangerine help boost immunity, making this tea especially good during winter. Mint adds a light, soothing aroma. See the recipe below. By the way, if you enjoy a tangy flavor and love tea with lemon, you can easily replace the orange with lemon or lime. The drink is ready to serve.
