Green Tea

           Do you have a dull toddler at home? Doesn’t he show much interest in outdoor games? In spite of giving all nutritional foods the toddlers may lack of energy that is needed for the outdoor activities.

          Try giving those toddlers a cup of green tea twice or thrice in a week which is known to have high anti – oxidants. Apart from making them active, it also refrains the kids from getting cold and fever often.

Procedure.

1. Add 100ml of water to a bowl and boil it.

2. Add a pinch of green tea leaves and a small piece of ginger to the boiling water and boil it for few minutes.
3. Allow it to cool slightly and drain the green tea.
4. Add one t.spoon of honey and few drops of lemon juice to the tea and give it to drink.

Note:

• Prefer buying original green tea directly from factory outlets instead of packed ones.
• Add honey for sweetness and avoid white sugar.
• Ginger and Lemon are added for extra fragrance and taste and depending upon the person it could be changed.
• Make a cup for yourself and your spouse also which would create an interest in your toddler to drink it along with you.
• Toddlers who are introduced to bitter taste before their first birthday will really become fond of green tea very soon.

• Unlike Adults Green tea cannot be given as a replacement for milk, because milk has its own nutritional values that cannot be compensated by green tea.
