5. Strawberry Basil Iced Tea
A Classic Twist’s iced tea recipe is a flavorful alternative to less-healthy alcoholic or sugary drinks. While strawberries provide antioxidants and natural sweetness, the green tea base in this recipe really shines.
Green tea drinkers had a 25% lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and premature death, according to a study of over 100,000 Chinese adults published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology in January 2020.
While most green tea research focuses on green tea extract rather than tea, as in the aforementioned study, a review in Chinese Medicine suggests that green tea contains catechins, a type of antioxidant linked to health.
