Dry tea leaves contain useful substances, and their value is preserved for many years.
But, alas, the same cannot be said about brewed tea, in which the beneficial properties disappear after a few hours.
Moreover, as soon as the brew cools down to a temperature of about 30 degrees, it becomes tempting for all sorts of fungi and other harmful microorganisms trying to “settle” there.
And if such tea leaves have stood for a couple of days, you may find mold in them.
Accordingly, tea will become so dangerous that it will literally be a real poison.
In this situation, you should empty the teapot of any remaining drink, rinse it thoroughly under running water, and use a cloth or sponge to remove any slime and mold from the walls.
Then we pour boiling water over it thoroughly and leave it open until it dries completely.
Based on the above, it is recommended to drink tea 15-20 minutes after it has been brewed.
Yes, after 5-6 hours it will not become harmful, but it will lose its taste and aroma, as well as its beneficial elements.
As for green tea, it is also recommended to drink it 20-25 minutes after brewing if you want to enjoy its true taste and get maximum benefits.
Earlier it became known what will happen if you brew tea twice.
