Use water below boiling, around 75–85°C, and steep for about 2–3 minutes to avoid bitterness. Blends containing cherry stems can become especially astringent when left to steep too long.
Cherry stems and green tea may have a mild diuretic effect, meaning they can make you urinate more often temporarily. They are not a treatment for persistent swelling, sudden weight changes, or medical fluid retention.
No herbal tea guarantees fat loss or weight loss on its own. When enjoyed without sugar, it can be a very low-energy beverage choice, but overall eating habits and activity matter most.
Morning or early afternoon is usually best because green tea contains caffeine. Drinking it late in the day may interfere with sleep in people who are sensitive to caffeine.
Some people experience nausea, stomach irritation, or heartburn when they drink green tea without food. If this happens, have it with a meal or after a light snack instead.
The tannins in green tea can reduce absorption of non-heme iron, the type found in plant foods. If you have low iron stores, drink it at least 1–2 hours away from iron-rich meals and iron supplements.
Lemon adds fresh flavor, and its vitamin C can support absorption of plant-based iron from a meal. It does not completely cancel out tea tannins, so people with iron deficiency should still drink tea between meals.
It can be a lighter-tasting alternative for people who want something other than coffee, but it still provides caffeine. Consider your total caffeine intake, particularly if you drink it in the afternoon or evening.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, children, caffeine-sensitive individuals, and those on fluid restrictions for heart or kidney conditions should seek personalised medical advice before drinking it regularly. People taking diuretic medicines should also avoid excessive use.
Freshly brewed tea is best consumed the same day. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and drink them preferably within 24 hours, as the flavor and freshness decline over time.
