tea and nutrients
Question
Kimberly,
I like to heat my tea water in the microwave. I put the tea bag in a cup of water, then nuke it. Does this method alter the benefit of drinking green tea?
thanks, norma
Norma,
It shouldn't alter the benefits. The water will not get hot enough and stay hot long enough to destroy any of the nutrients it contains. Try to use the freshest green tea you can though and don't let the tea bags sit around for months or buy ones that have been sitting on the shelf for months.
