I have heard that adding sugar or milk to green tea can ruin the benefits of drinking green tea. Can you add honey instead without losing the counter acting the benefits of the tea?

Try mixing either regular tea or an herbal or flavored tea that you like to improve the flavor. I usually make up 4 - 6 cups a day using at least 4 green tea bags. Keep it in the fridge to use as iced tea or can reheat for hot tea. The best sugar substitute I have found is Stevia, dried leaves of the Stevia plant. No calories, no side effects or nasty aftertaste like artificial substitutes. Can find it in some stores and any health food store. Cheapest is to buy as loose leaves in a box. Just found a box of 50 packets (each packet equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar) at Longs. More expensive than loose but convient to keep in my purse for dining out or to take on a trip. This brand was Stevia Plus but there are several other brands. Not damaged by heat so you can cook with it, keep in mind that it won't caramalize or get crusty like cooking with sugar. Hope this helps.

Green tea is used for it's anti-oxidant properties. Adding milk to it,would taste horrible. White sugar is unhealthy,but honey is fine. Honey won't alter the value of the tea. Both the tea and honey have other values. Both are internal natural antiseptics, and are very good. I can't stand the taste of green tea,but if you can -Good Luck!

most of the green tea leaves are grown in the Brazilian rain forest, the amount of moisture is greatly intensified, as a result adding cream-sugar could not affect or change the chemical makeup or its medicinal properties!!!
