Are any of you green tea guzzlers like me?
The good news is that green tea is delicious and full of antioxidants. The not so hot news is our bodies can't actually absorb most of the antioxidants… unless that is, you add a squeeze of lemon to your pot of tea! Vitamin C dramatically increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb (from 20% to 80%).
As an added bonus, I've discovered the lemon juice actually bleaches the tea. (I add the lemon plus a few drops of liquid stevia to the loose tea at the bottom of a french press before pouring in the hot water.) Far less staining of your pearly whites!
