    Honey!!! I add a teaspoon and it makes it delicious. I like Jasmine Green tea the best.

    i have juuust gotten into green tea..and i really like it. i like plain ol green tea with nothing added - but i haaaaate the floraly green teas out there. they give me a headache and taste like im drinking a flower. if your looking for something to make it a little more flavorful, whole foods carries a brand called "allegro", get the pomegranate green tea. its delish and adds a little bit so that its not so bland and it saves on the calories and sugar cause you wont have to add anything. good luck!

    I have heard White tea is even better for you. Also, it undergoes less processing so is better for the environment. On a travel assignment I was given a bag of it from a co-worker but now I am hooked and don't know where to get it! If you come across it I recommend you try it :)

    Green tea with coconut is amazing! You usually will see it as Thai flavored.

    Well, they say it takes 17 tries to make a child like a new food.

    I made myself drink Green tea, and now I love the stuff.


    Brew it either very weak, or very strong. For some reason, whenever I took a flask of hot green tea, and forgot to take the bag out, it obviously got super strong, but was oddly very drinkable.

    Green tea with cranberry or tropical fruit flavours are good.

    Lots of people like it with lemon, but I don't personally.

    It also helps if you let the water in your kettle cool down a little before making your tea. Green tea doesn't need water quite as hot as black tea does. Boiling water will make your tea taste bitter.

    You can also reuse your tea leaves for multiple cups of tea, and the second and third cups taste better than the first.

    Apart from that, lemon juice is good.

    Green tea seems to be an acquired taste keep trying it and it might grow on you! I didn't like it much at first either but love it now with lemon. :-)

    Have drunk green tea before but found it quiet bland.

    Am intrigued with the suggestions of coconut and honey. :)
