Yahoo Finance Gear up for the holidays with these 3 green tea recipes made for drinking while binge-watching
Now that the holidays are upon us, chances are you’ll be getting a little bit of extra vacation time to binge-watch your favorite streaming shows. Especially considering how, now that it’s cold out, you weren’t planning on leaving the house anyway — right? That’s why it’s vital to stock up on your tea selection at home. Green tea is always a go-to for us, so we decided to share our three favorite ways to drink it, depending on where you are in your binge-watching process.
Try the “Chill” tea recipe when you’re just settling in to relax and start your watching.
