Nechayny tea
Tea - an ancient Chinese useful and invigorating drink, has long become an essential attribute of our lives. Its tonic properties derived from caffeine - an alkaloid with a slight stimulating effect. In addition to tea, a substance found in leaves and fruits of other plants. Biological activity of caffeine is widely used in medicine. He added to a cure for colds and flu, allergy medications, analgesics.
There are many everyday food products on the content of caffeine in which we are unaware or do not think. Meanwhile, our bodies each day is pumped with caffeine. Effect of caffeine on the human organism is extremely difficult. For example, it is impossible to predict the reaction vessel at him in hypertension. If you have a headache from fatigue and the vessels of the brain is not in tone, he will take the pain. But as if your head hurts from spasm of vessels, for example, with the express sclerosis, caffeine will bring even greater suffering.
Glaucoma and caffeine are not compatible. In large doses it can have toxic effects on the heart muscle. In any overdose - becomes more frequent palpitations. And with gastric and duodenal consumption of caffeine is prohibited. Huge list of warnings and prohibitions on the consumption of caffeine doctors forcing many people to be prudent with caffeine drinks. Especially nervously began to look at the tea, because it is considered the leader on the content of caffeine.
The situation in the last quarter of XX century pushed to find replacements for tea - nechaynogo tea, not inferior to the taste characteristics and usefulness of the present, but that does not contain caffeine. This problem virtually unsolvable, if you put at the heart tonic properties. For many people, caffeine - soft drugs . This property is widely used by manufacturers of soft drinks. The concentration of caffeine in them may be even higher than in tea. It killed a flock of birds with one stone: drink "refreshing", ie, bracing, synthetic additives enhance the drink tonic effect of caffeine, they also reinforce and getting used to it, reliance on caffeine leaves the body the freedom to choose a drink, etc. In addition, it is impossible to find nechayny tea contains a substance (like caffeine), which has a powerful stimulating effect in a dose much lower toxic (like caffeine). But the vegetable kingdom in our time no longer has any secrets. Only one thing - to find a nechayny tea, which in appearance, aroma and taste will remind the best grades of tea, or exceed them.
The second way - to search for innovative beverages on the basis of food processing plants. I would like to mention three, in my opinion quite successful, attempts to create nechayny tea - a beautiful, fragrant, tasty and healthy drink.
HONEY TEA
In South Africa, growing honey bush (Honeybush - Syclopia intermedia), leaves of which in recent years have been used for tea on a commercial scale. This kind of tea nechaynogo not yet widely sold in Russia market, but in Europe and America, he has already taken its modest niche yet. I like him very much. The dry form of honey tea rather unusual: bright red-brown, stubby needles with a glossy surface. Virtually odorless, but if you fill it with boiling water as soon as a cup breaks tenderest honey aroma. Second wave of rising smell - dried fruits. Intense in color infusion is very similar to a good strong tea. It tastes quite sweet, with slight acidity and, therefore, like the compote. The big advantage of the drink that sweet substances are not due to the nature of sugar and our bodies are not usvaevayutsya. Added to this is the absence in it caffeine, preservatives, artificial colors. On the content of macro and micronutrients, he does not concede to this tea. It consists of a lot of natural exotic: isoflavones, kumestanty, flavonony, flavones, xanthones, pinitol. They communicate honey bush tea, a lot of interesting properties. Prevention of breast, prostate and uterine tumors, lowering the risk of osteoporosis, the regulation of the menstrual cycle, the properties of fat burners, hepatoprotective properties.
Hibiscus
Nechayny hibiscus tea - quite unlike in appearance and taste to the traditional. Bright red, quite tart, this drink has an unusual taste, but in diluted form resembles raspberry compote. Very popular in Europe and America. Recently appeared with us at Krasnoyarsk. What is hibiscus? Many fans of indoor plants not only familiar with the word "hibiscus", but also grow it in the room. This plant family Malvaceae. Among them there are trees, shrubs, grasses. Flowers large, brightly colored.
In the tropics, growing Hibiscus sabdarifa or Sudanese rose. This plant is almost entirely used for food. Fresh leaves are added to salads, seeds, to taste very reminiscent of sesame seeds, roasted, crushed and used for preparation of oily soups and confectionery. For tea, use not flower petals, as is often written on the packaging, and calyx. After wilting flower calyx begins to grow, increasing by 5-6 times and becomes juicy and meaty. Gather together a cup of ripe fruit. Fresh they are used for making jelly, which is considered almost equivalent replacement of red currants and cook soups. Prepare them as sauce, stewed fruit, used for painting the "pale" canned fruit, such as pineapples, giving them a pink color. They even pickle and eat instead of pickled plums. Dried calyxes nechayny used as a tea. The red color of the drink comes from anthocyanins, with pronounced P-vitamin activity. But these same substances can cause some people have allergies. Sour taste is caused by citric and ascorbic acid. Used both in pure form and in various blends of fruit teas. The most common combination - with wild roses. We have found several variants of this nechaynogo tea. Perhaps this "tea" in due course be able to compete with brusninymi, cranberry and bog bilberry stewed fruit. Let's see, time will tell.
