1. We choose the ingredients that we want to use: different types of tea, fruits, spices, dried berries.
2. Wash the fruit and cut into small slices. Use apples, oranges, lemons, grapefruit to taste.

Tea in our open spaces is a cult drink that everyone loves without exception. In addition to the great taste and smell, it has a number of health benefits due to its high content of antioxidants. In, which you still need to be able to cook properly, drinking tea does not seem to be too complicated a process. However, even here there are secrets.

1. Pay attention to the freshness of tea

Over time, the essential oils contained in tea can break down, which negatively affects its taste. Tea can last up to two years if stored in a cool, dry place (try an airtight container).

You won't get sick or poisoned if you drink expired tea, but the taste will be much better if you use it for six months.

2. Freedom for tea leaves!

Tea leaves expand significantly when brewed. Therefore, in order to fully reveal its full potential, take care of the free space.

This means that you should give preference to loose leaf tea. If you still like tea bags, then pay attention to the pyramids, which have more space for tea.

3. Tea is delicious water

In our cup of tea, the main part is water, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the taste of tea depends on the water used, even more than on the type of tea leaves.

Everyone understands that chlorinated tap water is not recommended, but specific recommendations for choosing water depend on your preferences and where you live. Either way, take this matter seriously.

4. Boiling point

Just as important as the quality of the water is its temperature. Since childhood, we know that water must be boiled well, "so that there are no germs." However, brewing good tea does not require bubbling boiling water.

So, black tea is best brewed at a temperature of about 90 degrees, and green and white varieties at 70-80 degrees. Therefore, after boiling water, it is better to let it cool down a little to the required temperature.

And in no case do not boil water again and do not mix boiled and not boiled water - good tea will not work!

5. Not too much, not too little

Aim for 1½ to 2 teaspoons per glass of water for loose leaves and greens and herbs.

For most black teas, which are more compact and have a longer drying time, 1 teaspoon is sufficient. If you want a stronger and more aromatic drink, then add tea, but do not increase the steeping time.

6. Proper utensils

The use of the right utensils is of great importance for making delicious tea. It is best to brew and consume this drink in ceramic dishes, because it is not for nothing that the triumphant march of tea around the planet was accompanied by a fashion for porcelain and faience.

Now on sale there are a wide variety of glass teapots for brewing, which are also quite applicable. The main thing to remember is that making tea in a metal bowl is highly undesirable.

If the drink has stood too long, then it will taste too bitter, because the tea begins to release tannins. It's still not a health hazard (overbrewed tea is sometimes used as a home remedy for diarrhea), but it's hardly tasty.

Black teas will take about three to five minutes to infuse, while green and white teas only need two to three minutes to mature.

8. Not a drop of milk!

In our country, unlike some other countries, tea with milk is not very common. And it's just great! Milk proteins can bind to the beneficial substances of tea and weaken, thus its healing effect. Well, there is no need to talk about the taste of such “tea”.

9. Some lemon

The addition of lemon enhances the antioxidant properties of tea. Vitamin C provides an acidic environment for catechins within our bodies, making them more available for absorption in the highly acidic environment of our intestines. The addition of citrus can also help make the tea taste better, as it cuts through some of the bitterness.

At the same time, you can experiment not only with the canonical lemon, but also try orange, grapefruit, and so on.

10. Drink to your health!

Whether you strictly follow the rules of tea or take them completely lightly, remember that tea is not just a food product, but a real cultural tradition associated with relaxation and communication.

Even the cheapest variety, surrounded by pleasant interlocutors, can seem unusually tasty and vice versa. So the main secret of getting delicious tea is not at all in the field of cooking.

I am sure that many of our readers love tea and have "signature" ways to brew it. We are waiting for them in your comments!

Ready-made herbal teas can be purchased at any pharmacy and supermarket. However, it is hardly worth relying on their quality, because no one can guarantee that they are made from natural and environmentally friendly raw materials. Since we consume a lot of non-natural products that are harmful to the body in our daily life, we need natural herbs with all their beneficial properties to maintain health.

The best option is self-collected all the necessary plants. The preparation itself is a very interesting and exciting process that will bring you many pleasant moments of unity with nature. You just need to know the rules by which herbs are harvested.

How to brew tea?

We want to note right away that only one plant is brewed for medicinal purposes. Then the finished drink will have a targeted effect. And combined tea will have a whole range of therapeutic effects, since it will contain a large number of biologically active substances that are found in different plants. At the same time, our unique organisms independently select the necessary elements from the entire presented complex and send them for processing into metabolic processes.

As a rule, the composition of herbal tea includes restorative and immunostimulating components. And most importantly, they do not contain caffeine, so drinks can be given to children too.

medicinal tea

You need to understand that any medicinal herbal tea (recipes at home can be invented and modified) does not have an instant effect. After all, this is not a pill, and therefore it takes some time. However, regular use of it will help to cope with the problem. Herbal teas for every day (we will give recipes in the article) will help to establish processes inside the body:

Multivitamin herbal teas for every day

The recipes for such teas are not difficult, but the benefits of them are very great. They can be prepared on the basis of fruits and berries. Herbal and are a storehouse of vitamins. Most of the nutrients are found in rose hips. They also use mountain ash, blackberries, strawberries, black and red currants, and sea buckthorn to make decoctions. Not only healthy, but also delicious herbal teas are obtained by adding aromatic herbs: oregano.

To get a multivitamin drink, all components are placed in equal parts. Such a drink is brewed according to the general rules. In the cold season, tea is drunk warm with the addition of honey and ginger. In summer, all decoctions and infusions can be consumed cold with the addition of ice. Such drinks are good to tone up in the heat.

Strawberry tea: strawberry leaves (10 g), St. John's wort (2 g), mint (2 g) are poured with a glass of boiling water. The drink is infused for ten minutes.

Heather heather (2 g), rosehip leaf (2 g), strawberry leaves (10 g) are poured with a glass of boiling water. Insist from five to ten minutes.

Such fees in the winter should be consumed hot, and chilled in the summer. They quench thirst well and invigorate cold teas with a slice of lemon or zest, raspberry and blackberry leaves. In hot weather, mint can be added to green tea.

How to choose a delicious drink?

It's no secret that any herbal tea is bitter. Therefore, you must independently choose for yourself such a collection that you will like. As a rule, one plant dominates in the collection, and the rest only harmoniously complement it, emphasizing the taste.

Compositions are always obtained according to the scheme: spices + fragrant grass + leaves of a berry plant. Cinnamon, vanilla, anise, cloves, star anise are usually used as spices. All these ingredients harmonize perfectly and open in a very special way if citruses are added to the tea.

What nuances about teas should you know?

How different can be herbal tea! Recipes at home can be used in a variety of ways. They will help diversify your usual menu, even if it is not about food, but about drinks.

At home, you can make herbal teas from the following ingredients:

  1. Orange slices, cinnamon, raspberry leaves.
  2. Lemon slices, star anise, mint.
  3. Carnation, lemon balm, sage,
  4. Lemon peel, oregano, thyme.
  5. Strawberry and cherry leaves, vanilla stick.

All components for teas are best stored in paper bags or cloth bags, but not more than two years. But the roots can lie for three years. Over time, herbs lose their taste, smell and all useful trace elements.

Crushed citrus zest should be added to green or black tea in advance (for example, a couple of weeks in advance). In a closed jar, the orange peels will give off their flavor to the tea petals. And as a result, you get a fragrant drink without artificial flavors.

I would like to note that you should not use the same collection for a long time. The human body has such a feature as addiction. Herbs in this sense are no exception. Over time, the usual collection may not have the desired effect. Therefore, it is better to alternate tinctures.

Lime tea

The largest amount of nutrients is found in lime flowers. Essential oils and flavonoids are the main therapeutic components. Lime blossom destroys bacteria in the human body, reduces fever, and removes phlegm.

For colds and flu, tinctures are used. For convulsions, rheumatism, diseases of the kidneys, gallbladder, stomach and intestines, colds and fever, they are taken two to three glasses a day. The drink is prepared as follows: a few tablespoons of linden flowers are poured into a glass of hot water.

Linden tea (useful properties and contraindications are given in the article) has a calming effect on the nervous system, significantly reduces blood viscosity. A drink made from flowers has completely unique properties. It contains a large number of vitamins and other medicinal components. In addition, this tea is very pleasant in taste and has a strong aroma.

Linden drink is used for hypertension, inflammatory diseases of the stomach and intestines, cystitis, pyelonephritis, urolithiasis.

As for contraindications to the use of lime color, there are not so many of them. But still, it should be remembered that the decoction has medicinal properties. Linden increases the body's defenses and has a diaphoretic effect. Therefore, tea gives a load on the heart. People with heart disease should not get carried away with such a drink every day.

Herbal tea is brewed similarly to green or black, but there are some nuances. As a rule, two hundred grams of water put a tablespoon of the collection. Brew a drink in a teapot, wrapping it with a towel. You can also use a thermos. It will make the tea stronger and richer.

The brewing process itself lasts:

  1. Three minutes if we brew leaves and flowers.
  2. Five minutes - for seeds and leaves.
  3. Within ten minutes, the kidneys and roots are brewed.

The finished drink should be filtered.

Are there any contraindications to the use of herbal teas?

People prone to allergic reactions should be aware that the drink can cause an allergy attack. Therefore, for the first time using a new collection, drink quite a bit of it and make sure that there are no side effects.

Most often, when allergic to herbal preparations, dryness and irritation of the skin, a small rash appear. Swelling may appear much less frequently. In general, people with bronchial asthma should treat herbal teas with great care.

At the first manifestations of an allergy, you should stop drinking the herbal drink and take Suprastin or Tavegil.

Medicinal teas should be consumed only after consulting a doctor or as prescribed by an herbalist. The fact is that any herb, in addition to a beneficial effect, can have a negative effect on the body. Therefore, do not self-medicate, so as not to aggravate the state of health.

If you still choose your own collection, then before using it, carefully study the indications and contraindications for the use of each individual component.
