Short answer: No. Green Tea, also known as green tea extract or Chinese tea (Scientific name: Camellia sinesis) is a drink made from the steamed and dried leaves of the Camellia sinesis plant, a shrub native to Asia. Black tea is also made from this plant, but unlike green tea, it is made from leaves that have been fermented. Fermentation may reduce the levels of some compounds, such as antioxidants, in black tea. Overview Some researchers believe green tea may have a protective effect against certain cancers because it contains antioxidants. However, results from human studies have been mixed. More research is needed to determine its role in cancer prevention.

How do you make lipton green tea?

You can brew Lipton green tea the same way you can brew any type of green tea. Heat the water (by any means, a kettle on the stove is the most common way), and then pour the water over the tea bag. Most people like the flavor of green tea best when it is not brewed with boiling water, but rather, water that has cooled slightly from boiling. Then you can steep for a few minutes (3 is a good starting point) and drink it. Some people like to add sugar or milk, but this is less common for green tea than it is for black tea.

How can you cook green tea?

You 'brew' green tea in the same way as for any other tea. Steep the loose or bagged tea in boiling water and leave to stand for at least five minutes. When using loose tea, use a tea strainer (sieve) to prevent small tea bits from entering the teacups. After a good stir, pour into teacups: add sugar and milk to taste. Purists would add neither sugar or milk and drink the green tea as it is.
