I know that green tea is supposed to be very good and healthy for me, and I have tried many times to drink it, but I just don’t like the taste of it. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can add to it to improve the flavor, but not take away the benefits of drinking it?

Rule of thumb,you do not steep green tea any longer than 1-2 minutes.Start with very cold water, bring to a boil let cool for 5minutes then dip your bag or strainer which ever you have dunking a few times then remove and discard.lemon and or a good honey is very pleasant.I drink it fast when it’s cool enough that’s how I acquired and got use to the taste, love it now.White tea is also very good for you.You might try it.
Add a little lemon or cinamon
If you really find the taste disagreeable,don’t drink it. There are other things out there that are good for you that you can do.Green tea has what is called a "green taste" Usually people who do not like green tea, are not to fond of bitter salad greens and such. Don"t torture your self. There are foods out there that world renown chefs with broad palates do not touch.
add a squeeze of lemon and let the tea steep longer than you would for regular tea. It’s nicer when it’s stronger.
add sugar or lemon juice
Look for a green tea that already has a flavor added to it, this way you don’t need to add sugar. I really like the Pomegrenate Green tea. If you still don’t like it, try a little honey
