1 cup (medium) of Green tea with lemon (240 g) has 5 calories. That works out to 2 calories per 100 g. It contains 1 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.5 mg of Manganese covers 21% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 5 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green tea with lemon is a light infusion that pairs green tea’s gently grassy, slightly astringent taste with lemon’s bright citrus note. It can be enjoyed hot or chilled, with a slice of lemon for a simple, refreshing finish. In many places, it is served as an everyday alternative to black tea or as a cooling drink over ice.
At just 2 calories per 100 g, it is a low-calorie choice when you want something flavourful without a sweet drink. It suits a light breakfast or an afternoon break, and goes well with fruit or a plain biscuit. Try it without added sugar to keep its crisp, clean taste in focus.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, green tea with lemon provides tea polyphenols and a refreshing citrus flavor. Choosing it unsweetened keeps it light, but its antioxidants do not mean the drink prevents or treats disease.
Steep green tea in hot water that is below boiling, then add lemon juice or a slice to taste. Very hot water or steeping for too long can make the tea bitter.
No, green tea with lemon does not cause weight loss on its own. Unsweetened tea can replace a sugary drink, but evidence does not show that adding lemon meaningfully increases fat loss.
Lemon juice may help some green tea catechins remain stable during digestion, but this does not guarantee a noticeable health benefit. Its clearest effect is adding acidity and citrus flavor.
Green tea with lemon contains caffeine from the tea; the lemon does not remove it. The amount varies with the tea leaves, serving size, and brewing time, so it is not always the same as a cup of coffee.
You can, but its caffeine may make it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. If caffeine affects you, avoid green tea with lemon in the evening; adding lemon does not make it caffeine-free.
Yes, but green tea with lemon can cause nausea or stomach discomfort for some people when taken without food. If that happens to you, drink it with a meal or after eating.
Yes, green tea with lemon works well chilled or over ice. Brew the tea, let it cool, then add lemon; refrigerate it rather than leaving brewed tea at room temperature for a long time.
Yes, green tea with lemon contributes to your fluid intake. Its caffeine does not usually cancel out the hydrating effect when you drink it in ordinary amounts, though water should still be part of your day.
Yes, you can reheat green tea with lemon, but gentle warming is better than boiling it again. Repeated heating can make the tea taste more bitter, so add fresh lemon after warming if the flavor has faded.
