Too much Green Tea!?

Hi everyone!

I need MFP help! Every night I brew 1.5 litres of water with 4 green tea bags and pop in the fridge over night so I can sip throughout the day along with my normal intake of water. Yesterday I did this but ended up drinking the green tea within an hour due to exercise and ended up getting a really bad headache. It made me think about the caffeine within the green tea and I wondered if it was a bad idea to drink cold as its easier to drink larger amounts than if it was hot.

Would love anyone's thoughts onto whether this is a bad idea or not??

Cheers! X

    Green tea does have caffeine but not as much as coffee or cola - it's certainly not a lot to have over a whole day if that's all you're having. I get headaches from dehydration so maybe stick to water for hydration and tea for sipping?

    How cold was it? Maybe it was brain freeze?
