Peachy Iced Green Tea

We hear and read so much about how the antioxidants in green tea are nutritionally and healthily beneficial. Then of course there are the claims as how they are a superfood and can help you lose weight when following a low fat or low calorie diet. It’s so good because it raises your metabolic rate and also speeds up fat oxidation. If you aren’t a tea drinker or are not a fan of herbal teas, green tea might seem inaccessible, so how about a recipe that makes it eminently drinkable?

This iced tea makes the use of green tea but brings in a harmonious complement with the sweet peaches. This makes the perfect drink for a summer barbecue or alfresco dining. So, you getting great flavour, loads of those special antioxidants and it’s a perfect drink to include in any healthy eating regime.
