This tea is incredibly simple to make and unbelievably healthy to consume! One of the many benefits about making this tea is that you get to eat the artichoke heart afterwards. So, the next time you are making a dish that involves boiling artichoke, remember to save the artichoke water and add pandan and green tea to it separately. How convenient is that? 

Artichoke

Rich in antioxidants, low in fat, full of fiber, improved digestion, lowers blood cholesterol, these are only just a handful of the many health benefits of consuming artichoke. Artichokes are one of the best foods to consume when you’re feeling under the weather or looking for a nourishing addition to your diet. What better way to incorporate this into your body than to drink this medicinal tea? 

Pandan leaves

Just like artichoke, this green leaf is also used for its medicinal and healing properties. From managing diabetes to detoxifying your liver, this humble leaf is powerful and should be a part of your diet! Although always best to use the fresh leaves, the frozen leaves work just as well.
