Green tea diet and weight loss recipes

Green tea leaves are good for deodorizing pet beds and straw sleeping mats. Because there’s a shortage of both pets and straw sleeping mats at our house, I decided to make and use some green tea weight loss recipes and a green tea teeth cleanser. I followed Ms. Rosen’s instructions to make a green tea concentrate: 1 cup unscented green tea leaves and l cup hot water. I halved this formula, and I can tell you that you have to scissor open seven tea bags to get half a cup of loose tea.

To make the cleanser, the concentrate gets mixed with baking soda in a 1 to 2 ratio. Ms. Rosen cites “beneficial effects” of using this cleanser, but doesn’t say what they are. I hope the polishing effect of the baking soda counteracts whatever staining effect strong green tea might have. Leftover green tea can be given to houseplants and garden plants, she says.
