Dr. Oz’s Tangerine “Weight-Orade” Recipe with a Lemon Twist
I know that green tea has health benefits, but I don’t enjoy the flavor of it. I have been drinking green tea for nearly 7 years now. Here is how I get it done. Ready? I add green tea to my herbal tea. Tough, huh? Dr. Oz has a powerful metabolism-boosting drink, called Weight-Orade. I have twisted the recipe, to my liking, by adding herbal tea and lemon. You can use any herbal tea you desire. I love Celestial Seasoning’s Berry Zinger, but today I’m going with Lemon Zinger. Per Dr. Oz’s website, green tea is shown to boost metabolism 12% by drinking just one cup. The tangerine with a chemical composition that increases sensitivity to insulin and stimulates genes that help to BURN FAT. The mint is a calorie-free flavor enhancer. I have added the herbal tea and per The New Sonoma Diet to maximize the health benefits of citrus by pairing it with other nutrient rich ingredients. For example adding lemon juice to green tea increases the staying power of the tea’s antioxidants and makes them even more available for the body to absorb. So here we go on my caffeine free version.
In a large pitcher, combine:
- 4 cups of brewed green tea
- 4 cups of lemon herbal tea
- 1 tangerine, sliced
- 1/2 a lemon sliced
- A handful of mint leaves
Stir this delicious concoction up at night so all the flavors fuse together. Drink 1 pitcher daily for maximum metabolism-boosting results. I use just two drops of Stevia to sweeten the flavor.
