Green
Tea - It's Diet Tea Time!
Green Tea is an anti-oxidant and may fight against certain cancers.
Although healthy, the taste of green
tea may not suit the palate of all
dieters. The unusual flavor tends
to become an acquired taste and
these days, is often masked in unique
versions of green tea which have
been mixed with other fruity flavors.
For
an exotic flair, try adding flavored
tea to recipes instead of the recommended
amount of water. Simply match the
amount of liquid tea to the recommended
amount of water. This technique
works especially well when baking
quick breads.
When
serving quick breads made with flavored
teas, be sure to serve a piping
hot cup of tea alongside which will
compliment and bring out the hint
of tea in the quick bread.
To
trim calories and fat content, substitute
sugar with Splenda and oil/fats
with any of the following:
-
unsweetened applesauce
-
dried, chopped fruits
-
mashed banana (or a pulse of most
any fresh fruit)
