How pleasant it is to spend a cold winter evening with a cup of warming aromatic tea, or enjoy the coolness of iced tea in the summer heat … Tea has occupied an honorable place among delicious and healing drinks for more than four and a half thousand years. And for good reason!
Instructions
Step 1
First, when you drink tea, you bring tangible health benefits. Tea contains a lot of useful substances, such as essential oils, tannin, caffeine, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B15, C, PP, etc.).
Green tea is especially beneficial. Thanks to the fluoride compounds it contains, it protects teeth from caries. It also has a beneficial effect on the liver, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and improves blood composition. Green tea has pronounced bactericidal properties and has a positive effect on immunity.
And how useful is tea with honey! Just remember that honey loses its healing properties at temperatures above 60 degrees, so it is better not to stir it in tea, but to eat it.
Step 2
Secondly, with tea, you can quickly quench your thirst. It can be drunk hot or cold by tossing a couple of ice cubes into the cup. There are a wide variety of bottled iced teas on the market today, but they tend to contain a lot of unnatural ingredients. Therefore, it is best to brew the tea yourself and chill it in the refrigerator. Such a drink will be both tastier and healthier.
Step 3
Finally, drinking tea is a real pleasure! You can choose from a huge variety of teas to your liking. Black, green, white, red - and this is not the whole list. There are many additives that give tea a special taste, both artificial (strawberry, cherry, bergamot, milk, etc.) and natural (mint, lemon balm, ginger, linden, jasmine, etc.). You can also try herbal teas. The most popular are karkade, rooibos, honeybush, teas from all kinds of herbs.
You can drink tea, as is customary in England - with the addition of milk. And in India, as a rule, they drink masala tea, which consists of black tea, milk, sugar and a special mixture of spices (cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper).
