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)
