Green Tea Obsession

Between it’s antioxidant properties and promise to decrease inflammation, green tea has been my go to morning heart warmer lately. While it’s not my favorite tea (it’s a tough choice, but for mornings I love a sweet, spicy chai loaded with soy milk), I reach for green tea whenever I’m particularly sore or just plain dragging in the morning. I’m particularly sensitive to the bitterness that green tea can get, so I steep for no more than three minutes and add a dash of lemon or honey to my cup.

Now that my feet are on the fritz and I can’t run, I’m channeling my focus and pent up frustrations into nearly chugging green tea. Anything to heal faster, right?
