However, if the method of cooking tea is incorrect or the tea is not suitable, it will be harmful to your health.
So is it good for your health to cook tea? How to cook tea? This issue will explain to tea lovers how to cook tea correctly in winter.
Making tea is the same as drinking tea. If drinking tea is good for your health, you must first choose the right tea.
Otherwise, choosing tea that is not suitable for you, whether it is soaking or boiling, will do more good than harm to your health.
Tea friends with weak constitution, poor ability to keep out the cold, cold hands and feet, chills and weak stomach.
Can't cook and drink herbal tea such as new tea, green tea and yellow tea. Otherwise, it will increase the burden on the body, which is not conducive to health.
Choose warm tea, such as cooked tea, old tea, red orange Pu 'er tea, hot black tea, etc., in order to get the effect of dispelling cold and keeping warm.
Tea friends with weak stomach and gastrointestinal diseases can cook Pu 'er cooked tea, and the mellow Pu 'er cooked tea soup can be attached to the stomach to form a protective film.
Citrus tea is also suitable for boiling and drinking, which helps to resolve phlegm and relieve cough and prevent colds.
Tea lovers who are weak and afraid of cold can make black tea to drink. According to the health care concept of "deficiency is tonic, cold is warm" in traditional Chinese medicine, black tea with hot tea is helpful for drinking and expelling cold; Moreover, modern research shows that methionine contained in black tea can improve the cold resistance of human body.
On the other hand, if you are a tea friend with hot constitution, easy to get angry, and good gastrointestinal function, drink less black tea in hot tea and drink cold Pu 'er raw tea, which is helpful to prevent and assist in the treatment of symptoms of getting angry.
If you get angry, you can drink Pu 'er raw tea in moderation. Pu 'er raw tea is rich in vitamins and tea polyphenols, which helps to relieve symptoms such as oral ulcer and gum swelling and pain caused by excessive internal heat in winter.
Choose the right tea products and you can start cooking tea. The first thing to pay attention to when cooking tea is the amount of tea.
Boiling tea will make more and more substances in tea overflow, which will make the concentration of tea soup much higher than that when brewing, and drinking strong tea will cause corresponding burden to the body.
Because tea contains caffeine, high caffeine content in tea soup will stimulate the kidney and increase the burden on the kidney. In particular, raw Pu 'er tea is cool when boiled, which is irritating to the stomach and easily hurts the stomach.
Therefore, when cooking tea, the amount of tea should be appropriate to avoid the high concentration of tea soup. Usually, the ratio of tea consumption to water injection is 1: 100, 1 gram of tea 100 ml of water. For example, a 1 liter teapot can pour 10 gram of tea.
Some people like to make tea all day. Cooking tea for a long time will overflow some unhealthy substances, and repeated cooking will also reduce the health care function of tea. Therefore, the time for making tea should not be too long and should not be repeated. It is usually recommended not to make tea more than 6 times.
At the same time, after the tea leaves are cooked, the temperature of the tea soup is often higher, and some people will think that hot tea has a taste. But try not to drink hot tea even in winter, because drinking hot tea for a long time will burn the esophagus and cause diseases such as esophageal cancer.
Put the pried tea leaves into an iron pot, and bake the tea leaves for about 3 minutes through the heat transfer of the iron pot. At this time, there is a strong fragrance of tea in the air.
Because tea is stored for a long time, it should be washed with boiling water before cooking, which can better serve the later drinks.
Slowly pour cold water into the iron pan, because our iron pan is 1000ml, so it is best to add water to 800ml. When the water is still 3 or 4 cm away from the spout, stop adding water (never fill it with water), cover the lid tightly after adding water and wait for the tea soup to boil.
If the water is too full, when the tea soup in the pot boils, it will be ejected from the spout and fall into the fire. First, it will waste tea soup, second, it will douse the charcoal fire, and third, it will arouse the indoor carbon ash. If you use an electric stove to cook tea, you should also avoid the potential safety hazard caused by tea overflow.
When the tea soup is cooked for the first time, it should be poured out immediately to avoid the tea soup being too strong.
Drink the first pot before cooking the second pot, or add cold water instead of filling it with water. When the water in the pot boils, pour out the tea soup immediately. In order to avoid the tea soup being too thick, there is no need to cook it repeatedly.
In the third pot, we should change the time of cooking tea, so as to show the taste of tea incisively and vividly. The third pot of tea, tea cooking time increased by five minutes. After the tea soup is initially boiled, continue to cook for three minutes, and then pour out the tea soup.
In the fourth pot, the time for boiling tea is increased to 6 minutes, that is, the tea soup continues to boil for 8 minutes after the initial boiling, and then the tea soup is poured out; In the fifth pot, after the initial boiling of the tea soup, continue to cook for 10 minutes and then pour out the tea soup.
To sum up, choosing the right tea products and cooking tea in the right way in winter will not only help to drive away the cold and preserve health, but also have a unique flavor.
