GREEN TEA GINGER LEMONADE
Green tea is great for you-and many of its compounds are being studied for their anticancer benefits, but it can be astringent and bitter. Here I've added ginger and lemon with either honey or agave to really knock out the bitterness. The result is a refreshing lemonade that's far healthier than the average store-bought blend. If you really want to amp up the sweetness, squeeze in a few oranges as well.

- Green tea has lots of wonderful antioxidants known as catechins. (Don't you love these names?) Studies have shown that catechins inhibit cancer cell growth and blood flow to tumors, but there's a catch: Green tea's catechins are absorbed far better if the contents of the intestine are slightly acidic. Enter the lemon! One study showed that adding a little citric acid to green tea boosted absorption of catechins by a whopping 500 percent. That's a mighty powerful pucker!
