Intake of food or drink before a blood test depends on the type of test being done. If the test is non-fasting, then most any intake is fine. If the test is fasting, your doctor may recommend only a bit of water of possibly black coffee before the test. Your doctor or lab personnel can advise you further based on the type of test you are scheduled for. Even if tea is allowed, it is important to remember the caffeine found in many teas can be dehydrating, which can make blood draws more difficult and may alter some results.

Can you have black tea before a fasting blood test for cholesterol?
I am faced with a similar situation. I need to fast 14 hours before my blood work, and I would like some iced tea. I have only been fasting for 4 hours, so I still have 10 hours to go. I called my brother-in-law, who is a doctor in Minnesota, and he said it was fine to have the tea tonight (as long as nothing is added to it). However, I cannot drink the tea tomorrow morning before the visit. Only water.

Can you drink water during the fasting period before a blood test?
Yes, you can. It doesn't contain anything that the tests are checking for. Actually, you can even drink black coffee or tea, but they do not tell you that, as they do not trust that you wouldn't add something to it. I worked in a lab, drawing blood for these tests, and we would tell our patients that.
Can you drink green tea during a water fast?
Totally depends on why you are doing the water fast in the first place. Drinking green tea, or any other variation of tea for that matter, could stimulate the taste sensation, making it all the more difficult to stay the course. Each person is different, for some, drinking the tea will not have any adverse effects, yet for others, sticking to zero taste during the fast is easiest. It all comes down to personal preference and the very reason as to why you are fasting.
