Do you drink tea every day and have made its consumption a vital habit? But many do not realize that even such a common drink, if consumed incorrectly, can be harmful to the body. Tea is a drink that gives benefit and pleasure, but its benefit and taste depend on how you consume it.
The most convenient time to drink tea is 15-20 minutes after brewing. During this time, the drink not only retains its taste but also provides the body with necessary antioxidants and vitamins. If tea stands longer, useful substances may decrease, and the taste may slightly change. Therefore, to get the maximum benefit, it is recommended either to pour it out or prepare a new portion.
How to store tea?
If tea was not finished, it can be placed in the refrigerator for a short time — but no more than 6-8 hours. Low temperature slows the growth of bacteria, but with improper storage they can multiply faster. Therefore, whenever possible, it is better to brew a new tea.
Leaving brewed tea at room temperature is a bad idea. Even if the taste seems unchanged, harmful processes have already begun in its composition. This shows that storing tea for too long can negatively affect health.
Simple rules for drinking tea safely
Do not store tea for more than 20 minutes — always drink freshly brewed tea.
Do not leave tea overnight — mold and bacteria may develop.
For tea to remain tasty and beneficial and not harm health, it is necessary to follow the simple rules above. This is easy and convenient to do in everyday life, and in this way, tea gives not only pleasure but also health and energy.
