Metabolism-Boosting Drink

Trying to kick up your metabolism in the New Year? I came across Dr. Oz's recipe for this metabolism boosting drink. He calls it "Tangerine Weight-Orade." While I don't like false claims and quick fixes, this drink is literally just green tea, tangerine, and mint which are metabolism boosting components with no calories and plenty of flavor. Apparently, you're supposed to drink a pitcher a day (8 cups), but honestly one cup of this in the morning and you're set for the day. This is in addition to drinking plenty of water throughout the day of course. The longer you let this drink sit before you drink it the better it gets!

I use Tazo Iced Green Tea which makes a whole pitcher that I can use throughout the week. Then I pour about a cup and a half into a glass, add two tangerine slices, and a handful of torn mint leaves and it's ready for the next morning. Done.


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups brewed Tazo Iced Green Tea
2 tangerine slices
Handful mint leaves, torn

Directions
  1. Add tangerine slices and mint to the cold green tea and let sit overnight. Enjoy in the morning!
