A tea or infusion of lemon grass and ginger is pleasant in scent and taste (some like to add a bit of honey) and taken in moderate amount will do you no harm.
Ginger is good for motion sickness, to treat nausea, relieves vomiting, gas pains & diarrhea, helps sooth morning sickness. It should not be taken if you have gall bladder problems or in quantity if you are pregnant.

There are approximately 578 calories in 3/4 cup of sugar and no nutritional value (calories) in the tea, making 578 (approx.) calories in the entire gallon of sweet tea. There are 128 fl. oz. in a gallon, so there are 16 cups (8 fl. oz. glasses) in one gallon. Take the 578 calories from the gallon of sweetened tea divided by the 16 cups and you get the amount of calories in an 8 oz. glass.
Formual broken down:
578 calories per gallon / 16 cups per gallon ~ 36 calories per cup.
Tea doesn't make you urinate any more than any other drink containing water does.
Whether you drink a 200ml glass of water or a 200ml mug of tea, you'll urinate the same amount.
How much you urinate depends on how much you drink and how much of what you drink isn't absorbed by your bloodstream.
Some caffeinated drinks can cause contractions to the bladder giving you the feeling that you desperately need to urinate, when in fact you don't. Therefore coffee would make you feel the need to urinate more than tea.
Well - it's not tea-time yet in the UK (it's only 10:00 am) - BUT - I'll be making my own Chinese 'take-away' later. I'll be making sweet & sour soup, prawns on sesame toast, spring rolls, beef with ginger & spring onions & egg-fried rice, and banana fritters to finish !
Why Is it harmful to drink water after tea?
yeah its true, we should not drink water after taking hot liquids
Tea gos cold in many ways one way is conduction this causes heat to be passed and spread along the cup this takes heat with it at the same time, another way is convection this is because hotter air is less dense so is at the top of the cup but is cold at the bottom of the cup, one other way is radiation this radiates heat taking heat with it, the final one is evaporation because the liquid has turned into a gas and then it rises due to the fact it has less density so rises it then takes heat with it.
A biscuit or cookie is always good and doesn't mess with the tea's taste. (This is good if you are inviting someone over to your home). tea sandwiches and scones. they are very good. if you go to a tea shop and ask for some tea sandwiches to eat then you can see what is in them and have an idea of how good they are!! =) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)=) =)
The Lipton tea brand is owned by Unilever, a British/Dutch multinational corporation.
The standard Lipton tea is a blend of teas from different tea-producing countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and China.
Teas vary in their aroma, flavor, and other qualities from season to season and year to year. In order to maintain a consistent taste, Lipton continuously changes the formulation of their blend, changing the proportions of teas used in order to deliver a consistent product during different years and at different times of year.
Lipton also sells other teas, including green teas, flavored teas, and blends. These include ingredients from other regions of the world.
It should also be noted that Lipton's products vary in different parts of the country. The blends sold in one country are not necessarily the same as those sold in other countries. This is in part because the company tries to cater to the different tastes of different regions and cultures.
Rooibos (also known as redbush tea or South African red tea) is an herbal tea made from the Aspalathus linearis plant. Rooibos tea has a number of purported health benefits. Rooibos is caffeine free. Some people believe that it may aid in relieving allergies, and great for hair, teeth, skin, and bones, and that it may aid digestion.
Rooibos is also used in skin care products including soaps, lotions, and sunscreen.
Although Rooibos has not been studied as thoroughly as tea (regular black tea, green tea, and other teas from the Camellia sinensis plant), there is a growing body of evidence, mostly from animal studies, that has given some support to some of the medicinal uses and health benefits of Rooibos.
Some of the benefits that have been backed up by some scientific studies include treatment for Asthma (rooibos acts as a bronchodilator, making it easier to breathe), and protecting against radiation damage and liver damage. These benefits were all found to hold after drinking rooibos tea. Some studies have also found evidence in support of the topical use of rooibos in skin care products, finding that it provides a modest increase in protection against sunburn.
How many carbs are in sweet tea?
I make one gallon of tea to which I add 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar for the level of sweetness I desire. Unfortunately, this equates to 72 teaspoons of sugar per gallon or 4.5 teaspoons per 8 oz. glass. There are 48 teaspoons in a cup of sugar. Looks like I better start drinking more water than tea!
Why is tea grown on hill slope?
a slope less than 15% is preferable. Steeper slopes present a major erosion risk and require terracing or special management such as contour furrows or preferably grass strips.
A slight slope will improve air drainage and reduce damage from frost. Do not plant coffee at the bottom of a slope or in shallow dips where cold air can pool, as frost damage is more likely here. Usually it is best not to plant the bottom third of a slope as it will be colder and sometimes waterlogged.
Exposed aspects subject to strong winds, should either be avoided or windbreaks such as Silver Oak (Grevillea robusta)established before planting the coffee trees.
What is in herbal peppermint tea?
Tea is an infusion made by steeping processed parts of the tea bush, Camellia sinensis, in hot water for a few minutes.
Many different parts of the plant are used. Usually, the top two leaves and the leaf bud are used, but some teas include larger, more mature leaves, and a few teas include stems, twigs, and other parts of the tea plant.
The processing can include processes to bruise or crush the leaves, encouraging them to oxidize, heating (steaming or pan-firing) to stop the oxidation, and drying. These different methods of processing, and also the different regions and different times of harvesting, can result in different types of tea with radically different flavor, aroma, and other qualified. Teas can be broadly classified as black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea, and there are many sub-varieties of each of these types.
Tea is sometimes blended or scented with other ingredients or flavorings, leading to flavored teas or scented teas. Herbal teas are not proper teas as they do not contain the tea plant.
What is the difference between tea and supper?
Tea was originally at 4:00, in England. Tea is not a full meal, it is usually a "bite" to eat. It used to be a cup of tea and a scone or a biscuit. It is a short snack unlike supper. Supper is the second most important meal in the day.
Tea is grown in bushes, but only the top leaves are picked/cut from the bush by a special machine. Then the tea goes through a process to make it the type of tea that you find on the shelves. Because of the way tea is harvested the actual bush it comes from can be thousands of years old.
Can you turn cat nip in to tea?
You hang the herb (catnip) up and let it dry out. then, cut off the bottom stems and mash up the leaves. You will need the little thingy that you put herbs in to make tea to put in your hot water.
What is the price of tea in china?
The answer to this question depends on what you are averaging over, and whether you mean the price at a commodity auction, or the price of tea on the shelf in stores.
I found one source that shows the price of tea at Kenya tea auctions varying between about $1.50 to $3.50 (rarely higher or lower) per kilogram; lately it's been about $3.00. This is for bulk, generic best pekoe fannings grade tea. This is not the best tea out there but it's probably among the higher-quality teas going into low-end commercial teabags.
For specialty teas, the prices range much higher. Typically, you can get pretty good tea from about $5 for 4 ounces or about 115 grams. A lot of tea is much more expensive than that. Teas from Taiwan and Japan tend to be more expensive, as well as those from Darjeeling, India. Single-estate, single-harvest teas can be as cheap as $5 for 4 ounces but they often range considerably higher, and a typical price would be $10, with many teas ranging over $20 for 4 ounces. Competition-winning teas (from any country) can be $6 for as little as 2 grams. Rare Chinese teas are often very expensive too, even though the prices of bulk tea in China tend to be quite low.

What is the process of making tea?
Tea in Kenya is mostly produced in small farms, less than one acre each. The tea is harvested by individual farmers and then aggregated in regional factories where it is processed. There is a tremendous amount of diversity in Kenya about how the tea is grown...Kenya is currently a global hot-spot of innovation in the tea industry, with a number of new varietals of tea being developed, and experimentation in tea processing is also taking place.
The production of tea in Kenya is also very diverse, producing both bulk tea of relatively low quality, used in blends, up through some of the finest artisan teas, sold in specialty tea stores for high prices. There are tiny farming operations as well as big operations owned by some of the world's largest tea companies. It is hard to generalize about how it is produced.
Some of the recent innovations to come out of Kenya include purple tea, a varietal of tea with a purple-colored leaf, caused by the same purple pigments, anthocyanins, responsible for the color in raspberries and blueberries, and white matcha, a powdered white tea vaguely reminiscent of Japanese matcha, but with its own unique twist.
Is it safe to drink coffee or tea poured out of antique silver plated sets?
There were warnings in the US about stainless steel mugs because they were suspected to contain chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects. However, there have not been any recently reported issues from drinking from stainless steel.

Can you pick up a cup of tea without friction?
Not with one hand because the cup would rotate round the point at which your fingers contact the handle. But you could with two hands (I think).
