I got a new coffee making machine the other day - it was very nice and
cheap at Clicks. It works a treat making double espressos.

I'm very fond of green tea. I also know that it should be treated
gently, you shouldn't use boiling water, for example, only water just
getting to the boil. Mostly, these days, I make it by putting a green
tea bag into a litre of cold water and leaving it in the 'fridge for
about 24 hours - it steeps and produces a very pleasant cold drink.

Just for fun, I've tried going to the opposite extreme. I've used the
espresso machine to make green tea. It's pretty impressively powerful
stuff that comes out. Even put in with a litre of water as cold green
tea it still is very strong - but tasty.

I was just wondering if any of the beneficent stuff in the green tea
survives this treatment. Also, you might like to try it - it is quite
an experience!
