As the warmth of summer envelops us, staying refreshed and hydrated becomes essential. Iced green tea offers a delightful, healthful solution that not only cools you down but also brings a wealth of benefits, making it a perfect beverage for the season. Let’s explore why iced green tea is the ultimate summer drink and how you can enjoy it using the finest blends from Mukoh Matcha.

The Benefits of Iced Green Tea

Iced green tea is more than just a cooling drink—it’s a vibrant infusion packed with antioxidants, known for their health-boosting properties. Here are a few reasons why iced green tea is a smart choice during hot weather:

• Hydration: Green tea is a great source of hydration, which is crucial during the summer months. Unlike sugary sodas or commercial juices, it refreshes without the extra calories or additives.
• Rich in Antioxidants: The catechins in green tea, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), are known for their health benefits, including reducing inflammation and fighting free radicals.
• Enhances Metabolism: Green tea has been shown to enhance metabolic rate, which can aid in weight management—a common goal during the summer season when we are all a bit more health-conscious.
• Calming Effects: Despite the caffeine content, the high levels of L-theanine in green tea help promote relaxation and reduce stress, providing a perfect balance to its energizing effects.

How to Prepare the Perfect Iced Green Tea

Making iced green tea is a simple process that results in a refreshing and invigorating drink. Here’s how you can prepare it with Mukoh Matcha’s premium green tea:

1. Brew the Tea: Start by brewing green tea slightly stronger than usual since it will be diluted with ice. For Mukoh Matcha’s green tea, use about 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per cup of water.
2. Cool It Down: Once the tea is brewed, let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating it. This helps maintain the flavor and antioxidant properties.
3. Serve with Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes, and pour the chilled tea over them.
4. Add a Personal Touch: Customize your iced green tea by adding a few fresh mint leaves, a slice of lemon, or a splash of honey for natural sweetness.
