The benefits of tea are being touted everywhere. From the beneficial bacteria in Kombucha tea to green tea for heart health and cancer prevention to black tea for stress recovery, tea is in the health news.

We are all busy people, though, and aside from the very occasional relaxing tea after dinner, there is probably not a whole lot of tea drinking going on.

How can we get more tea into our diets?

Some easy ideas:

• Brew a whole pitcher at once and keep it in the fridge. Drink iced tea instead of water a few times a day.
• Drink tea in the morning instead of coffee.
• Put some tea into a metal travel container for the car. You'll sip as you drive without even knowing it!
• Keep some boxes of your favorite teas at the office, and brew a cup when you are tempted to reach for that coffee.

If you don't really care for the taste of tea, you might try some of the tea recipes at Better Recipes. Some use tea in smoothies, others "disguise" tea with pink lemonade and mint. Or how about Culinary Tea's recipes for Rooibos Punch and herbal teas?

Clever ways to use tea in cooking can be found at the Cattea Corner, such as using tea instead of water or stock when cooking rice or grains and also in place of the liquid in homemade cranberry sauce.

And recipes? Why not try the Cold Sesame Noodles, which uses black tea in the sauce, or Fruited Couscous, using the tea of your choice.

Whether you think of new ways to drink tea or use it in cooking, there are bound to be some new ways to inspire you to get more tea into your life.
