Hello Lybrate user, you can have 2-3 cups of green tea in a day. Having green tea on empty stomach can result in gastric problem like acidity and if taken along with meal it can affect absorption of vitamins, iron, calcium and other nutrients from food. So it is beneficial if taken after half an hour to one hour of your meal or in between meals. Thanks and regards.
