<\/a>The Tea Smith in Omaha<\/p><\/div>\n
Freshly brewed tea over ice is the best.\u00a0 The flavor is not the only thing that I enjoy.\u00a0 There has been a great deal of research about drinking black tea.\u00a0 It contains antioxidants that may help prevent certain diseases\u00a0and\u00a0several types of cancer.\u00a0 Tea without added sugar or milk is 99.5 % water, so it can function as part of your 8-10 glasses of\u00a0hydration per day.\u00a0 It is perfect for someone who wants a calorie free drink in the morning instead of many high calorie coffee drinks.<\/p>\n
To make the perfect cup of tea, without making it bitter, it is best to start with fresh cold water.\u00a0 Place it in the tea pot, and bring to a boil.\u00a0 Pour over your tea bag or fresh leaves, and steep for 3-5 minutes, depending upon your tastes.\u00a0 Remove the tea bag or strain your tea leaves.\u00a0 Let the tea sit for a moment to cool before drinking it hot, or pour over ice for cold tea.\u00a0 It is important to clean out your tea pot frequently, as bacteria can develop, and cause an off flavor.\u00a0\u00a0 I have a tea cup with a strainer in it.\u00a0 It works wonderfully for making a large glass of fresh tea.\u00a0 I have a large tea kettle when I want to make a larger amount of fresh tea. It is a true pleasure to take your first sip of a great tasting glass of iced tea!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know we are discussing cooking with tea this month–but sometimes the purest form of something is the simplest form!\u00a0 And the healthiest.\u00a0 I am a tea snob.\u00a0 I love tea!\u00a0 I have drank iced tea for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 Over time, I have developed a taste for freshly brewed Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,551],"tags":[939,238,938],"class_list":["post-10331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-b","category-h","tag-blck-tea","tag-health","tag-iced-tea","cat-44-id","cat-551-id"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tea.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10331"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10331"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10349,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10331\/revisions\/10349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nutritionknowhow.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
