Did you know that brewed tea can turn into a very harmful drink if you... don’t start drinking it on time?
Remember this simple rule: "Have you made tea? Dilute it with cold water and start drinking it right away. Or leave the drink to cool, but not more than 10-15 minutes."
A little-known feature of tea
It turns out that the components important for the body begin to break down quite early in the drink.
The more time has passed since the tea was brewed, the less healthy and less tasty the drink is.
It is advisable to drink the drink within 10-15 minutes after the start of preparation.
The fact is that dangerous compounds may begin to appear in tea just a quarter of an hour after brewing, TUT NEWS reports, citing research by experts.
And if you leave the drink untouched for a couple of hours, it is possible that dangerous microorganisms will appear in the drink. Mold may also appear.
Remember: it is advisable to drink freshly brewed tea. Do not make a large volume of the drink and leave it for later.
When to start drinking green tea
You need to drink black tea within 10-15 minutes after starting to prepare it.
If we are talking about green tea, then the rule becomes less strict: you can drink such a drink 20-25 minutes after brewing.
