We have heard time and again that tea - green tea in particular - is good for us, but the standard hot cup of tea can get boring quickly, especially when it is approached with the idea that you have to drink it for your health. Fortunately, Green Tea: 50 Hot Drinks, Cool Quenchers, and Sweet and Savory Treats has many alternatives to the standard cuppa, including some recipes for non-liquid foods, which will be a new use for tea to many.
The book is relatively small, less than 100 pages, but is full of beautiful pictures and a solid introduction to the basics of green tea, including the history of the drink and how to brew it. Moving beyond the intro, the drink recipes include iced and hot teas, smoothies and even cocktails. Solid foods include Grilled Chicken Satay with Green Tea Peanut Sauce, Fresh Fruit Salad with Green Tea Syrup and Green Tea Honey Cookies.
