Tips On Preparing Leaf Tea

By Helene Norris


Numerous benefits have been found to be offered even by a leaf tea Scottsdale which is why it has been treated as a common kitchen ingredient. But there are still many people who may bot be aware of how to properly prepare it. Here are the steps that wold serve as a guide.

The things will have to be prepared would include water and some other people prefer that which comes from the spring. The organic leaves should also be prepared ahead as well as the kettle, mug and stainer to filter the residues out. Aside from the main ingredients, lemon and honey are the usual add on.

Remember that it would be better to have the fresh leaves and it should not be forgotten that the oils in them could be easily broken down over time. If they already have, then the taste would be different that is why buying from a store with a high turnover of stocks is preferred. It they are stored in a cool and dry place, it could be shelved for two years.

The contents are usually packed in tiny paper or fabric bags but it wold be better to loosen them up upon their preparation. The leaves need room to be able to expand and release their flavor but if sticking them to the bag is preferred, then at least choose the large ones. However, this will inhibit the release of vitamins which could benefit the brain.

For every one cup of water, a small spoon of ingredients is needed as this is the ratio ideally thus it is the quantity of the product that determines the volume. Also have the water be tested and use spring water if possible or at least filter the tap water. There might also be minerals and compounds that might affect the taste.

The ingredients should then be placed in a strainer and should be heated according to the type of product used. The temperature also can make a difference because each has its own contents o specific chemicals. For instance, black teas require higher temperature while the green and white only need up to one hundred eighty degrees because of a lesser tannin content.

Do not allow the ingredients to boiled too much because over steeping will only make it a bit bitter as the tannin will be released even though it is still safe to drink. The black one often needs about three up to five minutes in a hot water. The green and white only need about two minutes in steep water.

Another thing that must be done in order to increase the benefit of the antioxidants contained therein is by squeezing citrus into the cup. This is possible because vitamin C increases the body absorption and it could also lessen the bitter taste. Grapefruit, oranges and lemons are allowable while honey could be added for sweetness.

The leaf tea Scottsdale is usually prepared as a common drink and most people could consume four cups daily. An iced drink unlike the common belief, has actually some benefits since the antioxidants will remain longer. This drink has been famous for those who want to lose weight or has diabetes.
