It has the opposite effect on me. Right now after drinking my 3rd cup of the evening. I am very tired and cant stay up. The great thing about Green Tea is no hangover or sickness in the morning. YES !!!

You can bring the Ice Cream as long as you tell us the flavour.
I don't know, I joined this site to give up drinking and stay sober. No chance of falling of the wagon here. (LOL).
Between Green Teas, making me thirsty, FreeOwls Burgers and Chips on another thread and JadedGirls Ice Cream. My AV has packed up and gone out of business.
I bet its Chocolate Ice Cream, chicks love Chocolate Ice Cream.

Don't know if it was coincidence (I was very tired last night) but tried this and went out like a light xx

To drink Green tea like the Chinese:
1) Go to Starbucks* and order a Venti coffee in a real Venti size mug
2) Drink the coffee and put the mug in your bag
3) Get a bag of green tea leaves
4) Put a very generous pinch of leaves or two normal pinches in the cup, 1/4 fill with cold or warm water and top up with boiling water (protects the leaves)
5) The leaves will float and then sink after about 5 minutes. A gentle stir will help them on their way. Once they sink you can sip away
6) Top up with boiling water when you are done
7) After two or three refills add another pinch of leaves
Thats it. No elaborate tea sets or ceremonies required.
*A costa coffee cup would work ok too

Oh thanks for the reminder!!! I used to drink soooo much green tea but stopped drinking basically anything but alcohol or coffee these last few years. Time to start the green tea addiction again I think! Yum!
I'm actually sitting in my friends car outside a supermarket as I write this on my phone, so perfect timing, I'm popping into buy some green tea right now
