Natural Beauty Is In - A Cup Of Tea

Beauty has many tools in the modern world: cosmetic products, makeup, fitness, etc. (even surgeries). However, the least expensive and the most organic tools are the ones that come from nature. And lots of them we already use every day without even knowing how powerful they can be. Here is one of beauty recipes that also boosts health: a cup of flavorful green tea.

For the best tea ever you will need a small tea pot (one full tea cup) and 3 tea spoons of green pleasure. It is important that you don't overheat the water: it shouldn't boil. The perfect temperature is when it's about to boil and many tiny bubbles start going up to the water surface. Once the tea leaves and water are combined you should not wait for more than 3-5 min. This is how long it takes for the most valuable ingredients to be transferred into your drink (vitamins, amino acids, caffeine, alkaloids, minerals, etc.). If tea sits too long, the drink also contains harmful elements that are recognized by bitter tea taste and brownish film staying in your tea cup afterwards. It is also not recommended to heat up or boil prepared tea.

After 3-5 min. pour your tea from one cup into another 3 times. It helps filling tea with oxygen and valuable elements are transferred into the water faster.

Don't drink your cup of tea all at once; the best is to divide it into 3 stages. It is also best not to eat or drink anything for 30 min. before and after your 'tea escape'. Tea prepared this way is very healthy and benefits your heart, stomach, liver, and blood-making organs. Its caffeine stimulates your body, cardiovascular system; vitamin P reduces blood pressure, tannins improve digestion, and amino acids renew exhausted nervous system. The December 2007 issue of Allure magazine also featured teas as a natural and innovative tool of skincare. The Body News section talks about the studies proving that "green and black teas have been shown to prevent skin cancer" and refers to tea as a skin-protection drink.

And finally (to make it the best tea EVER) do not forget to smile, relax and enjoy! :-)

The same technique can be used for preparing black tea but it comes out really strong. For more natural beauty recipes and comments please visit http://www.olenainstyle.com
