I suggest you discover 15 more interesting options for using green tea for food. Healthy food with green tea. It will turn out great, tasty and aromatic!

Option number 1. Add it to the oatmeal. Add a bag of green tea to the boiling water, then cook the cereal as usual. Green tea adds interesting flavor and aroma.

Option number 2. Add to salad dressing. You can simply add a couple of tablespoons of green tea to the vinaigrette. Or you can make a dressing: mix green tea powder with grape seed oil, apple or rice vinegar, pepper and salt. Choose the proportions to your liking.

Option number 3. Add to a shake or smoothie. Green tea goes well with vanilla yogurt, banana, and your favorite frozen berries.

Option number 4. Add to fig. Ochazuke is one of the popular Japanese dishes and it is prepared by pouring green tea with hot rice with the addition of seaweed and other ingredients (tofu, sesame seeds, hot peppers). You can not add this exotic, but simply add a little green tea to hot rice - the grains will absorb it and you will get a healthy dish with an unusual taste.

Option number 5. Add to soft drinks. Brew green tea, add ice cubes and some ginger ale for an antioxidant-rich cooling drink. Perfectly refreshes and tones.

Option number 7. Add it to your cookies. Add green tea powder to any cookie dough. You will get not only an interesting color, but also an unusual taste.

Option number 8. Season the fish. Grind the mixture of nuts (almonds, pistachios, and walnuts) in a food processor, add green tea powder, dip the fish in this breading and bake.

Option number 10. Prepare the vegetable marinade. Brew a few green tea bags in hot water, add a little honey, salt and pepper there so that the liquid thickens a little. Brush vegetables or tofu with marinade before placing them in the oven or grill.

Option number 15. Cook fruit in it. An excellent dessert is obtained from apples or pears boiled in syrup. And if you boil them in water with the addition of green tea leaves and a small amount of brown sugar, honey and spices, you get a fragrant, tasty and healthy dessert.

In fact, there were more options, but I decided to omit those that relate to baking or that need to be fiddled with for more than 5 minutes.
