Many people add honey to their cup of tea not only because they want to make the drink sweet, but also because they expect to benefit from consuming this natural sweetness.
At the same time, as noted by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , one gross mistake and all efforts will go to waste.
It turns out that as soon as we stir a spoonful of honey in hot water, it immediately loses all its benefits.
High temperatures have a destructive effect on some enzymes and other biologically active substances present in honey, and also lead to the loss of its antibacterial properties.
Therefore, if you decide to add honey to hot tea, it is better to do this after the tea has cooled down a little to a temperature comfortable for drinking.
This way, most of the beneficial properties of honey will remain in place, and the taste of the drink will not be affected in any way.
And, of course, don’t forget that the product you are going to consume – with or without tea – is natural and does not contain any additives or preservatives.
To do this, carefully study the label on the jar of honey before purchasing, paying attention to the markings and checking whether the product is certified.
