You can, but it may lead to bloating.

Lemon of course you can add. Half lemon more than enough but not when you take it in late evening. And instead sugar add 1 tsp of honey. Honey is more beneficial for you.

Three times a day. Once in the morning after meal, once in the middle of day, and once after your evening meal.

Hot or warm. Usually drinking hot water reduces the fat so it is better than cold water.

You can, but most people drink it without sugar.

You can have green tea at any time you like. Having one in the morning as part of your breakfast, and one in the evening, 1 hour before bedtime, would be the most beneficial, however.

Any drink with caffeine as an ingredient has the potential to not be good for your heart. However green tea is relatively healthy.

The temperature of the tea is completely up to you. It won't change how it affects your weight.

No, it's entirely up to you when and with what you drink your tea. Many people have it with meals. Note, however, that caffeine can interfere with the absorption of some nutrients, so if you're looking to get the most out of your nutrition, it's better to keep your caffeinated drinks at least an hour apart from your meals.

Some studies say green tea may help in maturing eggs, but there are no guarantees. It certainly won't hurt you to drink green tea regardless of whether it boosts your fertility due to its health benefits. If you've been trying to conceive for a year or more without success (or three to six months if you're over age 35) or if you're having irregular periods, your best bet is to see a fertility specialist.

No. There is no link between one and the other.
