Green tea with citrus, honey, and ginseng...

My favorite drink at work lately is hot green tea, and I make the perfect cup by brewing the tea bags and then adding any blend of citrus juices (primarily lemon, lime, and a dash of orange and sometimes grapefruit), a bit of honey, and a vial or two of ginseng extract.

The caffeine and ginseng keep me going all night long and it is so delicious. I doubt I'm enough of a connosieur to tell the difference between different varieties of green tea, though I did notice it with "white" green tea, which makes a good blend with the regular green tea bag.

Green Tea: 4g Water: 600g Juice: 35g Honey 3g Ginseng: 10g

Cost: $0.50 to $0.75 per 20oz cup

I'm going out on a limb and guessing they are the small vials of dark ginseng extract. I just bought boxes of 12 vials for $1.00 per *box* at a local dollar store, so the total cost would be less than .10 per vial wich I'd guess to be 5-10g. Normally these vials sell for $5 per box at asian markets (still less than .50 each)

Oh, sorry, I meant 10g or rather a 10ml vial of ginseng extract. I get a box of 30 vials of Pine Brand Red Panax Ginseng Extractum for about $5 at the Asian supermarket, and the green tea bags are several dollars for a box of 100. The ginseng extract purports to contain

2000mg of ginseng, and even if I'm not sure if it gives me energy it still tastes good.

Do you really hate green tea so much that you want to punish it by doing this? What did green tea do to you?

Scott, on top of all that that, he misspelled "vial." Michael
