The Very First Recipe

Tea

The Very First Recipe which almost every human learns but about 90% of you learn the wrong recipe.

Green Tea:-
It is very simple to make, just add two or three pinch(not more than that, that is using a tea bag is not a good practice) of green tea in a cup or tumbler and pour boiling water and cover it for 5 minutes. Strain it and drink it.

I have tried a dozen types of green tea but the one which I prefer is:-
Organic India The Tulsi Green Tea- 100 g
And if you are in a hurry:-
Organic India Tulsi Green - 25 Tea Bags

Black Tea:-
This is where it gets controversial, during my visit to Kerala, I learned that most of the people and even those who think themselves as tea master make tea in a very wrong way.Here's how to make tea which has many benefits and no harm:-
1.Take two or three pinches of tea( and not teabag, that is not a good practice, tea bags are just business strategies for various companies and are only meant for making tea on the go while travelling) and put it in a kettle for one cup, multiply the quantity for multiple cups.

2.Add equivalent boiling water and cover the vessel for 5 minutes, strain and serve.

3.For Milk Tea: Do not add the milk while boiling the water, first make the tea ready after adding boiled water, leaving it for 5 minutes and straining it, then add boiling milk as per requirement and sugar according to taste and not while making the whole tea.

Every element in tea should be added in a different step and off the flame.
If we make the tea in traditional way, that is by boiling water and adding tea leaves then milk and required materials on the flame then many of the nutritional contents get burnt and thus we are unable to exploit full benefits of tea.

Tea made by this method will benefit you like green tea , unlike traditional tea there will be no gas problem, and it will give you kick start for the day too (Since, it has no L-theanine because of oxidation).

Cook right, eat healthy!
