Green tea with ginger for weight loss Detox waterDrinking green tea with ginger and lemon is a great way to jump-start your day. Shoot for 3 glasses a day for three days.

Green tea - It is loaded with polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins, which function as powerful antioxidants in our body. Green tea has been shown to boost the metabolic rate and increase fat burning.

Ginger -  It can be used to ease indigestion and reduce gas, bloating along with flatulence. The spicy component of ginger can also rev up your internal fire along with upping your metabolism.

Lemon - From a lot of reading, the phytochemicals in lemons do some sort of stabilizing magic on the catechins when they’re in your digestive tract. What does that mean? When you sip Green Tea your body may destroy good enzymes in the tea. Lemon will counteract that.

    This sounds delicious! I have some loose green tea a friend brought me from China. I have been interested in finding a good use for it and this is it! How much loose tea equals 6 tea bags?

      Great, I know I have been given different teas for years and never really thought about the health benefit! I would say close to a Tablespoon is about one tea bag from the looks of it :-) Let me know how it goes!

    I love ginger. We use it in our fresh juices. It's amazing how much better I feel when I have it from when I don't over prolonged periods of time.

    I don't have an issue with bloating, I've had a total hysterectomy, but I love all the ingredients in this detox and definitely will give it a try. I'm having a lot of trouble getting this weight off and I know it's from the hysterectomy. If you could send me exercises and a really good diet to do I would appreciate it.

    Green tea with fresh ginger root is a go-to for me. I use my Keruig to brew fresh anytime I want. Required: 1. 2 tsp gunpowder green tea (gunpowder tea is the best IMO) 2. Ginger root sliced paper thin about 1 inch long (X4) 3. 1 tsp raw honey or agave nectar 4. 2"X3" Muslin brewing pouch Place 2 tsp gunpowder tea and 4 slices of ginger root into the muslin pouch. Place the music pouch into a 16oz glass, and use the Keurig to dispense hot water, sans pod. Allow to steep 2 minutes, remove such and gently squeeze pouch (careful, it'll be hot!) Set the pouch aside for cups 2, 3, and 4. Add 1 tsp of raw honey or agave nectar and stir thoroughly. Add Ice to top it off or drink hot. The bra pouch can be used two or three more times. A longer steep time will be required for subsequent glasses, naturally. I haven't tried yet, but I believe a sprig of fresh mint, bergamot, or Jasmine would take this to another level of enjoyment. I'll report back to let you all know.

    I am all for the green tea, lemon and ginger. And i have been drinking it but i hate hot so i am drinking it cold. This is like my first week. Ladies my question to you is this will it still be effective to drink it cold? I get real turned off from drinking hot liquid but i tend to consume more when it is cold.

    Will it be alright to use the dry ground ginger?. I keep a bottle in with my spices or do i have to use fresh?

      You can use dried. You may need to start with 1/8 of a teaspoon and then increase. It has a different strength than the fresh.
