A unique blend of oregano green tea

Are you tired of drinking plain old green tea? Take your green tea to the next level with this unique blend of oregano tea. It infuses dry oregano, green tea, lemon, and ginger, giving it a refreshing twist you won't find anywhere else.

Lovely, are you tired of drinking plain old green tea? Do you find it hard to enjoy the taste of this healthy beverage? Well, you're not alone. I, too, do not particularly enjoy plain green tea. 

I came up with a fantastic solution! Adding herbs or spices already in my pantry to enhance the flavor of green tea. This time, I had dried oregano.

As you might have noticed in this blog, I love concocting unique recipes. Sometimes, they're not so amazing to share, but most of the time, I'm impatient to send you this recipe so that you can also enjoy the health benefits to improve your health.

This oregano green tea with lime is one of those concoctions that effortlessly turned out amazingly good.

I hardly drink plain water apart from my early morning jars of warm water. During the day, I love sipping herbal water or green tea. I love green tea for its health benefits, and I make sure to drink a cup every other day.

Packed with antioxidants from tea leaves, oregano, lime, and ginger, this tea offers many health benefits. Adding oregano and lemon gives it a refreshing twist, while ginger adds a spicy note. 

Oregano tea alone has a bitter taste, and so is green tea if not brewed properly (brewing green tea is an art on its own, lol). 

Lime or lemon balances the flavors in this anti-inflammatory tea, while fresh ginger adds that spicy note, making this green tea enjoyable.

Notes

PS: I do not sweeten this beverage. The lime's flavor reduces the bitter taste of green tea.  Do not use a lot of lemon because it will completely reduce the other flavors.

Give it a try without sweetening, then work from there.

However, I suggest using healthy alternative sweeteners like honey, stevia, agave, or maple syrup.
