Miracle Juices or Green Tea Users Manual

Miracle Juices: Energize: Juices to Invigorate

Author: Hamlyn

Feeling lethargic, irritable, without enthusiasm? Here's the appetizing cure: juices that give some get up and go! Instead of foods that provide a sugar rush followed by a quick letdown, these drinks supply a constant and slow release of sugar throughout the day. A carrot, beetroot, and orange Power Pack packs a real punch, with loads of vitamins A and C, antioxidants and potassium. Kale and Hearty--with spirulina and wheatgrass--is a sure way to become hale and healthy. A carbohydrate-rich mix of apples, mangos, and passion fruit makes up the Energy Bubble, a perfect after-exercise concoction. Or savor the refreshing Liven Up (Galia melon, pineapple, apple), a yummy All Nighter smoothie, and banana-based Round the Clock. Every one fights the downers.



Book review: The Quick Python Book or Code Generation in Action

Green Tea User's Manual

Author: Helen Gustafson

With its own aromas and delights, as well as a host of health bene?ts, including enhancing immune system function and lessening damage from free radicals, green tea continues to grow more popular in American diets. Yet because it is brewed differently, and many varieties of green tea are available, there is more to know about making a good cup of green tea than how to boil water.

The Green Tea User’s Manual leaves no leaf unturned, introducing 16 of the most popular types of green tea, including Dragon Well, Sencha, Jasmine, and the Japanese tea Gen Mai Cha. It describes the three stages of bubbles to look for when boiling water and the various vessels in which to brew, from pots to small covered cups known as guywans. Lovely line drawings, original recipes, anecdotes, lore, and related green tea tips help to make this irresistible little book a perfect gift for anyone with a penchant for tea.
