Introduction

Although the thought of tea in the summer might send you into a sweating frenzy right away you should always remember that, just like everything in life, there are more than one way to enjoy the age-old glass of tea. It doesn’t even need to be Tea for that matter and can be a nice mix of herbal inclusions, as long as you make it with a bit of a twist.

Keys to a great iced tea

While tea is generally thought of as a piping hot drink the reality is that it lends itself really well to being served ice cold. A nice brewed tea can really hit the spot on a day when the sun is out and water just isn’t appealing to your taste buds. Don’t worry as there is not really much that you have to do differently to brew a nice cup of tea up for those hot days, just a couple of things to keep in mind.

Sliced Orange Fruit in Clear Drinking Glass
different versions, all amazing iced teas

The first step, steeping your tea

The first is that it takes a while to get to that perfect spot, and I am not talking about stepping here, but rather the time it takes to get ready. With hot tea you boil your water, steep the leaves, remove the leaves and enjoy. With iced tea you will need to brew the tea, let it steep, and then let it cool which can take a decent amount of time. There are some people that will argue that you can steep and then pour over ice to get that time down, but that brings up the second aspect of brewing the perfect iced tea.

How strong to make your iced tea

Which is the dilution issue… dun dun dunnnnn. When you make hot tea your cup is just water and tea leaves; while when you make iced tea you generally have ice cubes in it. this is why I whole hardheartedly recommend that you make your tea 1.5 to 2 times stronger than you normally would.

Personally, I don’t like to wait around while the tea is cooling as I am a bit restless when it comes to my tea, so I brew up a super dark mix. If you are using tea bags, I would triple the amount of bags you use as the water movement does not always suck up as much of the tasty flavor as opposed to loose-leaf tea. This leaves you with a dark nectar of tea which you can pour directly over ice and ( although the ice melts a bit into the hot tea) you will not lose as much flavor as you are diluting twice as much tea.

Making a strong iced tea recipe

The final thing to keep in mind is that when you brew up your extra tea you don’t want to steep it for too long. This is a mistake that many people make when you ask for stronger tea. To get stronger tea you ADD MORE TEA you do not over-steep. If you steep the tea for too long you will find out that you are left with a bitter taste in most cases. This is especially true of real tea, and not always the case with tisanes. So remember to keep an eye on your brewing time as there is nothing worse than putting in the work for your perfect cup of tea to realize that a couple of minutes has ruined your drink.

How to make the perfect cup of black tea

How to Prepare Black Tea

The four major types of tea all come from one tea bush but the end products of these teas differ in taste and aroma. Typically, the secret to a good cup of tea lies in its preparation. It is not just a ritual that has to be followed, but, taking the time and doing it with passion brings out the best in every cup.

Black tea has a special preparation as does green, oolong, and white tea. Though there are tea bags available in the market that make everything simple and convenient to prepare, nothing still beats making tea from whole or loose leaves for the fuller flavor you get from its brew. And there’s nothing to worry about since black tea from loose leaves is fairly simple to prepare.

To prepare the perfect cup of black tea and bring out its best flavor, one would need black tea leaves, a teapot or kettle, cold water, and if you want –milk, lemon or honey.

Does the type of tea matter for brewing?

If you plan to use freshly dried leaves, pluck very young leaves and leaf buds. With a rolling pin, roll the leaves and crush them until you see that they have darkened and become red. Spread them out to dry for two to three days in a cool location. After which, put them in the oven and heat at 250F for 20 minutes. You now have tea leaves ready for brewing.

Boiling the perfect tea water

Get fresh cold water and bring it to a boil. If you are sourcing water from the tap, let it run for a few seconds to avoid a flat-tasting tea. Scientific explanation from the experts at Oregon State University says that tap water that is allowed to run for a few seconds brings in more oxygen in the water thereby giving a better flavor to the tea. Remember that cold water needs to boil. Do not create shortcuts by using water that’s already hot direct from the tap. The kind of water you use will make a big impact on the result of the tea flavor.

Get about a cup of the boiled water and pour it into your small teapot, which can be made of ceramic or glass, as long as it’s not metal, and cover it to warm the inside. Swirl the water and then empty the teapot.

Brewing the perfect cup of black tea

Put in black tea leaves. Experiment with the quantity according to your tea strength preference. Usually, a ratio of 1 heaping teaspoon of loose tea for every 8 ounces of water is used.

Pour in a little amount of boiling water and remove immediately. This is one step called ‘rinsing of tea leaves’ that’s particularly for black tea only. After which, pour enough boiling water into the teapot to achieve your desired tea mixture.

Steeping black tea

Allow the tea leaves to brew in the water for 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid stirring while steeping the tea leaves. A shorter time period of infusing tea, especially for high-quality ones makes the best tea than steeping more than the recommended time frame. Leave it covered. If you really want a stronger flavored cup of black tea, leave it for up to 5 minutes. Don’t let it steep longer or you will create a tea with a very bitter taste.

Clean up

Then, just like the rinsing of the teapot, rinse cups to be used with hot water. Get your teapot and pour into the cups your finished brewed tea using a strainer. You can now enjoy your tea!

If there is unused tea left, strain the tea leaves and cover it. Leaving the leaves in the pot for a long time will destroy the flavor of black tea.

If you choose to add milk and sweeteners, this must be done after the tea is strained and not inside the teapot with the leaves.

Some people prefer to make a second infusion using the same leaves in another pot. They even claim that the 2nd infusion is a lot better. High-quality black tea can be infused many times over.

Conclusion

These are the simple preparations for a wonder drink which you may even learn to enjoy more than your usual morning beverage! If you are looking for some great flavored black tea I would suggest my personal favorite

There are always going to be debates about which is better and the truth is that there is no better or worse when it comes to tea as the only one who makes that decision is the person drinking the tea. Tea is subjective and should be something that is always enjoyed.

If you are not enjoying your tea then you might not be making it right, which you can easily fix by reading over these little snippets:
how to make black tea
and
how to brew loose leaf tea

So other than that the usual questions come up such as the health benefits of green tea and other things and when I think about this it is something that always somewhat makes me question the thought process of these statements. I am not saying that it is weird to think about the health benefits of green tea or any of the other teas, but when it really comes down to it I like to drink beverages that taste good, and if there are health benefits then I think that is a bonus. Other than cough medicine or things like that there are not many things that I will take into my body that taste bad just because they might help.

a nice pot of tea brewing

With drinking tea you can enjoy the drink, and choose a brew that you do really like, and if there are health benefits then take it as a bonus. But don’t drink a certain brew just because you think it might be better for your health than other types of tea, drink it as a bonus. Don’t take this as a recommendation to drink something because it tastes good and ignore all other health aspects like with cola or other sugary drinks. I am simply saying that it is best to not overthink the things that we should be enjoying.

At the end of the day every cup of tea should be enjoyed, and if you find yourself drinking tea with the act becoming more like a chore maybe it is time to switch it up. We have many different fruit teas that can add some new flavors to your mixes, even if they aren’t green or black teas. With the number of tisanes available online today there is no reason why you should be bored of the traditional teas as there are so many choices that you can take advantage of.

If you ever want some of our personal recommendations just send us an email and we would be happy to help try to match you up with a new brew to get that smile back on your face when it comes to tea time!

Squeeze the lemon and again let the mixture sit until water acquires a room temperature (best if you throw along the mixture the lemon pulp and let it also steep with the tea). Put it in a fridge and serve chilled. You may add honey or other sweeteners if you like.

Health experts approve 2-3 cups of green tea a day but that excludes people under medication or those who need special health attention. Daily doses of green tea warm or cold help in weight loss and detoxifies your body naturally as it replenishes your cells from within.

Introduction to the benefits of green tea

The benefits of green tea have become famous to people all around the world. Among the varieties of tea available, green tea is the most famous due to its health benefits. It does not only work wonders for your mood, it also does wonders for our body.

Benefits of green tea

There are many green tea benefits and here are just a few of them. Green tea contains caffeine. Caffeine makes our bodies physically and mentally active. Drinking green tea helps improve mental functioning and helps retain memory. Thus, drinking green tea can help elevate your senses at work or at home, reading or studying. It is best drunk in the morning to wake you up and can also be drunk at the middle and end of the day when you want to excite and freshen up.

Green tea as a diuretic

Green tea acts as a natural diuretic. It makes you urinate more. During urination, excess fluid is being flushed out by your kidneys, along with toxic substances that can cause potential harm to your body. Because the excess fluid is lost, drinking green tea can help you manage weight. A balanced diet, exercise, and green tea can help you lose weight faster. This is one of the many advantages of this drink as when you drink green tea weight loss will occur all by itself.

Reducing blood pressure with green tea

Elevated blood pressure puts you at risk for complications such as a stroke. Certain medications used to lower blood pressure act by causing the body to urinate more. When you drink green tea, you get almost the same effect as taking a diuretic or antihypertensive drug. Therefore, green tea can help you manage your blood pressure.

Green tea as an antibacterial additive

You might have encountered mouthwashes that contain green tea extracts. Green tea has antibacterial properties. It helps fight bacteria in your mouth, causing unwanted mouth odors and throat and gum infections. This means that drinking green tea will not only freshen your breath, but it will also clean it.

Is green tea good for your skin?

Green tea is also good for our skin. Because of its antioxidant and antibacterial properties, green tea can help improve our complexion and fight certain skin problems, such as acne. Drinking green tea alone can help rejuvenate our skin, and the teabag can be reused by applying topically to affected areas.

Green tea as a health booster

Perhaps the most amazing thing green tea can do is to help fight cancer. Green tea contains antioxidants called polyphenols, chemicals that fight free radicals. Free radicals are chemicals that oxidize our cells, causing cell aging and deterioration. Antioxidants in green tea fight those free radicals in the body, making our body younger and our cells healthier. Cells are renewed, and there is a prohibition on the growth of cancer cells.

Conclusion

Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help prevent certain diseases. It can help save you from the future cost of medicines and hospitalizations. To be healthy and fit, drink green tea. One of the important things to remember is that all green tea is not created equally. The quality of the leaf will determine the quality of your body’s benefits. This is why it is important to get loose green tea that is very high quality. As this will ensure the best health benefits for your body.

Here are some high-quality, and great-tasting green teas that are good for your body and your soul:

Introduction

green tea has been enjoyed for centuries and continues to grow in universal appreciation and consumption worldwide. However, with the advancement of medical technologies, we are starting to discover that Green Tea is actually really good tasting… and really good for your body. Keep on reading to find out more about what it is in Green Tea that is so good for you and your body.

What I have found out about green tea – it can help to reduce swelling


The first thing that I have found out about green tea is that it has been shown to decrease swelling and also assist with arthritic pain. The reason that this is a big deal is that the pain associated with arthritis is one of the most painful and annoying feelings that you can have. It hurts in your bones, your joints, and all over the affected areas, with little relief for severe sufferers.

If green tea is able to help even a little bit, then I would say it is worth trying out. Worst case scenario is that you do not find relief, but you find a great drink! There are many benefits of green tea in your body so keep reading to find out even more of them!

It can help with cholesterol levels


One of the most recent things that have come out in the news is that green tea actually helps with your cholesterol levels. It does it on two different fronts, the first thing it does is increase HDL levels in your body. This is a good thing because this is the good type of cholesterol that your body needs. The next thing that it can do is lower the bad cholesterol in your body, which is sometimes the cause of cardiovascular disease. These two actions alone are good enough reasons to drink green tea, but we are not done there yet. If you are looking

Reducing free radicals


The next thing that green tea has been shown to assist with is reducing the number of free radicals and in turn, the damage they cause in the body. Free radicals are things you do not want in your body and are generally hard to deal with as they are created and float around your body and bloodstream. This is why they are hard to deal with, and if green tea can assist with this, then I would suggest trying it out.

Drinking tea in this regard is a bit more a preventative measure as you will most likely not be able to say that by drinking 1 cup of green tea, you removed 1 free radical, however, you can say that by drinking green tea you might be reducing the possibility of your body being affected by free radicals. Again, not 100% conclusive, but really what do you have to lose?

The benefits of Green tea explained


If you are interested in getting some of the benefits of green tea, but find it hard to enjoy it on a daily basis, then don’t worry, as there are a couple of alternatives that can help you out. You can supplement your intake with additional sources of green tea. One of the favorites of people are green tea extracts.

These extracts can be combined with other things and offer the flavor of green tea to whatever they are used in. One example is green tea ice cream, who would’ve thought that it would be a good thing to eat ice cream? Another thing that you can use to supplement your green tea intake is to take capsules, like vitamins, with the extract inside. This makes it very easy to enjoy the benefits of green tea by just taking a pill.

Green Tea Caffeine


One thing that you will want to take notice of is the fact that green tea contains caffeine. Many people find they are unable to interact with caffeine on a daily basis as sometimes it keeps people awake and can cause headaches and other issues. If you are one of these people, then there is nothing to worry about as decaffeinated teas are coming out that still contain all the health benefits of tea but don’t contain any of the caffeine. This is good as you have the luxury of enjoying these teas right before bed. If you are looking for an easy way to lower caffeine in green tea then take a read of that article it will give you some great tips on how to quickly and easily drop the caffeine levels in your teas!

Conclusion


As mentioned above there are many different things that it appears green tea can help with, so why not try it out? Green tea is great tasting and great for you, drink that will make you feel great. So what are you waiting for, go try some green tea today!
