The preparation of tea drinks can be called a real art, since this tradition has a centuries-old history.

However, even today tea has not lost its relevance: it is one of the most popular drinks on the planet.

Some people just like to enjoy the noble taste of tea, while others try to find unusual combinations with additives. Sometimes you can even come across very strange recommendations regarding the preparation of the drink.

For example, in Soviet times, cooks added soda to drinks, recalls Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti, about an interesting trick of cooks of the past.

Why add salt to tea?

As it turns out, this unusual trick also has its own logical justification and motivation for use. Sometimes we encounter the fact that the drink turns out too bitter.

Some people try to dilute it with water, but this reduces the taste of the tea.

Instead, add a little salt directly into the cup.

There will be no trace left of the bitter taste.
