The secret of herbal tea brewing:

Brewing herbal tea is actually not complicated, and there are many principles of communication with brewing black tea and China tea. Basically, as long as you grasp the following points, you can finish a pot of delicious and healthy herbal tea at home.

Quality and dosage of raw materials for brewing herbal tea.

Want to make delicious herbal tea, the premise is to choose high-quality raw materials. You can refer to the suggestions in the article "Selection and Preservation of Herbal Tea". As for the dosage of raw materials, it should be considered according to the characteristics of various medicinal materials. In principle, you can put less fragrant herbs. If you choose fresh medicinal materials, their weight is 2-3 times that of dry raw materials.

Herbal tea soaked in water

Both water quality and water temperature are important factors to induce the color and flavor of herbal tea. It is best to take water from clean mountain springs, living wells or streams to make tea. If it is not easy to obtain, you can also choose pure mineral water and then boil it. When brewing, the water temperature is about 95 degrees. The tea brewed in this way is bright, positive and fragrant. As for the water consumption, if the most commonly used glass pot is used as a tea set, one pot is 5OOcc.

The way of making herbal tea

There are many kinds of herbal tea, which can be cooked in a pot or a pot, and there was usually more than one before. Flowers, leaves and other raw materials are easy to release, so the pot bubble method can be used. If the raw materials are hard parts, such as fruit, bark, roots, stems, etc. It is best to extract the essence by boiling in a pot (especially in order to obtain medicinal effects).

The pot for boiling tea can be made of stainless steel, glass or ceramics. Iron or aluminum products may cause chemical changes and are not suitable for use. Boil the water first, then add the raw materials, and continue to simmer until the medicinal materials are dispersed and the color and fragrance of the tea soup are released, and then turn off the fire. If the pot soaking method is used, the cup should be scalded with a hot kettle before brewing, so that the temperature difference will not be too great when boiling water is added, which will affect the tea fragrance. In the process of making tea and soaking, the pot and kettle must be sealed to prevent the volatile oil from escaping with steam.

Soaking time of herbal tea

Each herbal tea has its own suitable soaking time, depending on the characteristics of flowers and plants and the parts used. Only by mastering it can the essence of herbs (including color, fragrance and pharmacological effects) be perfectly presented. Generally, flowers and leaves that are easy to release fragrance are soaked for 5 ~ 15 minutes; As for tough fruits, barks and roots, they need to be soaked for 15 minutes or more. Because many kinds of herbs contain tannin, it will produce astringent taste and dark brown color if soaked for too long. In addition, the first bubble takes a long time, and backwashing can shorten the time slightly.

Iced herbal tea

In hot summer, iced peppermint tea and chamomile tea are also delicious, but they need to be brewed. That is, the amount of raw materials remains unchanged, but the water volume decreases 1/3 ~ 1/2. So as not to dilute the taste of herbal tea after adding ice.

Other precautions for herbal tea

It is best to make as much herbal tea as he wants, and put it in the refrigerator if he can't finish it. Although the color and smell can't be as perfect as when he first soaked it, it can last for L ~ 2 days, not more than 3 days.
