Question

Will i get the benefits of the tea's I drink? What should I do to improve?

I boil and steep it but Iam worried Iam not getting the correct results.

Answer 1

That's fine. Just steep it for at least 5 minutes.

Answer 2

sounds ok to me

Answer 3

It depends on the tea.  Read the package to see what it recommends.  Most you steep for 4-6 minutes.  Then, it's just personal preference.  Also, unless you purchased a decaffeinated tea, the longer you steep- the more caffeine will be in the tea.  It's a myth that tea does not have caffeine.  It can have the same amount of caffeine as coffee.  If you don't drink a lot of tea-  figure out what you like-  I prefer organic decaffeinated green tea-  the flavor is light and green tea has antioxidants.  I add a little soy creamer.  Honey or sugar and lemon are good too.

Answer 4

hi. it depends on the tea. Like my favorite tea is chamolie, i like it iced. i boil the water, let steep for five (or three if you don't like rich taste) take the tea bag out and put alot of ice in it. and i totally agree on 'there's no good or bad answers' i never thumbs down either. hope i helped and didn't sound rude.

Answer 5

That sounds perfect....if a tea bag sits in that hot water for a few minutes, thats enough time for the ingredients to mix with the water.

Answer 6

Perfect!  The longer you let the tea steep, the more nutrients you'll get and the stronger the tea will be.

Answer 7

that's how you make tea.

Answer 8

Yes you will reap the benefits that way even if you add ice.
