Expert Answer

Yes! Although green tea is primarily water based, it does contain a small amount of caffeine. That said, it can still be a great option to stay hydrated.

Question

If I want to use an artificial sweetener (like Splenda), do I add it at the end?

Community Answer

You can add it in at pretty much any time as long as the tea is fairly warm/hot, as it will not dissolve very well otherwise.

Question

Do I have to put the tea in the fridge for a few hours? Can't I just put my teabag in a cup of cold water?

Community Answer

The tea will not steep if you put it in cold water. The entire point of tea is that the hot water steeps the tea leaves and flavors the water. So yes, you do have to put the tea in the fridge.

Question

Can a tea bag be reused?

Community Answer

Technically, yes, but the flavor will be both bland and bitter and the caffeine gone.

Question

Instead of using lemon slices or lemon juice, can I use a lemon tea bag?

Community Answer

I don't think using a lemon tea bag would give you the taste you're looking for.

About 3 servings are good. Green tea also benefits health, but too much can be bad.
