    You can make your own cheap green tea by plucking green and overgrown
    tea leaves from the garden. Then infuse the tea leaves with hot
    boiling water and then draining the water to separate from the leaves.
    You can drink it straight or add some milk and or sugar.

    Green tea is really refreshing. I've never grown my own and I'm not sure if it would grow well in the UK. I've also never tried green tea with milk before. I only have milk in black or red tea which I sometimes also have with lemon.

    Well I would prefer to just buy tea, since I think tea isn't really expensive to begin with. It will save me the hassle of having to make one. I also like the minty taste of some teas, I'm sure if I make one it won't taste minty.

    I don't have tea plant on my garden. I have lemon grass, which I use to make green tea. Lemon grass give lemony flavor, bbut it does not have any tea element. Usually myb tea is sweatened with sugar and milk, however, when I am drinking tea from lemon grass, I use honey and no milk.
    Maybe I should plant tea in my backyard.

    I have never grown tea in my place and I don't think the climate in my place will support it. I buy green tea sachets once a month. I use that to drink daily and use that sachet which is dipped in the green tea for my eyes. The green tea extracts are very powerful in helping you to get rid of dark circles and puffy eyes and even oiliness. :)

    I like tea, but really don't drink enough of it to consider growing it. I like being able to just go and purchase it from the store, simple and easy, and not that expensive. I have not had any green tea in a long time, but I think that I will buy some soon. I find that I like to collect different teas, even though I don't drink it that much. I need to add some green tea to my collection.

    I just usually buy tea at the Dollar Tree for a dollar- for 100 tea-bags,and also I like to make my own iced tea from these bags as well. Its really cheap to but it here , so no I have never considered growing my own tea leaves and also Walmart sells some nice flavored teas for a nice price as well.

    I drink green tea,too, but I prefer to buy them in sachets. There's a brand here that sells different types of teas that are believed to be good for ailments like diabetes, kidney diseases, cough, and UTI. Their prices are the lowest in the market. A box with 10 sachets of green costs slightly less than a dollar. I usually add honey instead of sugar or milk. If they're out of stock, I simply make a tea out of moringa leaves.
