    If you have green tea powder, 1 cup skim/light soy milk, 1 tsp green tea powder, 2-3 splenda packets. Blend with ice. Delish dessert, snack, cool summer beverage.

    A lot of "instant Matcha" tea is green tea, sugar with milk powder (real Japanese matcha tea is pure green tea powder).

    So it isn't such a big deal to have green tea with milk.

    Green tea latte is actually pretty yummy...but not diet-friendly.

    I'm just about addicted to green tea with jasmine, straight up - no milk, no honey, no nothin'!

    I've heard that milk can diminish the benefits of green tea. I've also never heard of anyone actually putting milk in it though.....

    Supposedly milk negates the antioxidant benefits of the green tea.
    Some people eat or drink things just because they enjoy them.

    Oh, I was unaware people actually enjoyed green tea =P

    No milk, no sugar, add a slice of lemon if you think it needs something.
    Adding milk seems odd to me - it seems like it would be like putting milk in orange juice.

    They do make green tea ice cream, though.

    I've never drank green tea WITH milk to be honest...I only drink Chai with milk (there's no other way to drink it!) and sometimes a few others, but never green tea.

    I drink it plain, but lemon, honey, and ginseng are great not dairy additives.

    One premade green tea to try is Arizona Green Tea with Honey and Gingseng. arizona.jpg It is a great way to start becoming acclimated to the drink, before making your own with less honey. It is usually pretty cheap, too. The 23 oz can usually goes for a dollar at liquor stores, but I've seen in for as cheap as 2 for a dollar, in certain cities.
