Dieting should be fun
Get the most from your green tea bag. I love my exotically flavored green tea bags and I pay about 8 dollars for a box of 20 tea bags. My current favorite is the "Tropical Green" flavor from Harney & Sons. It has a wonderful exotic flavor with an influence of pineapple. Lately I've been getting 40 cups of tea instead of 20 for my 8-dollar investment by making my hot cup of tea (I steep it for about 1 to 2 minutes). Then I pour another cup of boiling water into a second mug and let the same bag steep for about 30 minutes. Later that day or the next, I add some ice and enjoy a nice glass of iced green tea. It should work well with flavored black and white tea bags as well; you just need to find the right amount of time to steep the first and second cup so you get the flavor you want. This saves me about $12 a month since I drink about 2 cups of green tea a day! Got ideas for saving money? Visit our Saving Money message board. Related Topics:
