Green tea was the game changer for me...but not at first. The problem was that hot green tea made me feel sick on empty stomach, so black coffee was my only option even though I'd rather not. It was when I discovered cold brewing that I was able to drink green tea and ditch the coffee. What I do is fill my half gallon bpa free water bottle with filtered water then, chuck in a few green tea bags and leave it over night ready for the day ahead. The first thing I noticed was my energy went through the roof, the coffee seemed to spike energy then fade away. I felt well hydrated all the time, not like coffee which is dehydrating. I noticed I was losing more weight too. Green tea goes so well with fasting, the caffine is low and the compounds in green tea fire the metabolism whilst attacking the bad fat.
Here is a great article on the details of green tea with fasting:

I don’t think that I have tried a cold brew green tea, but I am guessing that it would be similar to what we call “sun tea” here. Sun tea is usually made during the summer when people are dinking iced teas, and it is made by putting the teabags in a gallon jr and then leaving it to sit in the sun all day, which soaks out the flavor of the tea, but does not give it as much bitterness.
I have seen cold brewed coffee that is left overnight I basically the same way but I have never tried that to see how well I like it.
