Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which undergo minimal oxidation during processing. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is often steeped in hot water for a few minutes to release its flavors. It can be consumed plain or with added sweeteners, herbs, or fruits to enhance the taste. Green tea is not only a refreshing beverage but also a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking, used in a variety of recipes ranging from smoothies and desserts to marinades and sauces.
