How to Make any Tea Alkaline alkaline teaWe all know that there are many benefits to tea, but consuming too much tea can cause a person’s acidic level in their system to rise above normal and cause many more health issues later. Unfortunately, the ingredients that make up most teas are acidic and you would be hard-pressed to try and find an alkaline tea in any store. Dangers of Consuming Highly-Acidic Tea Having a diet that is high in acidic content can be harmful to a person’s health. A person’s diet should consist of approximately 75% of high alkaline foods and only 25% of acidic foods. If you drink tea regularly you are most likely consuming much more than 25%. This can lead to such problems as acne, obesity, depression, ulcers, fatigue and gout to name a few. Acidity in Tea The acidity in tea is caused by the tannins. If you allow the teabag to steep too long, it becomes bitter, and you can taste the acidic properties. Tea cannot survive in soil that is too alkaline based, it needs acidity to survive. Because of this, natural alkaline teas are not available in the marketplace. Types of Teas There are 6 common types of tea; white, green, oolong, black, yellow and post-fermented. None of these teas are alkaline based, and some contain higher levels of acidity than others. Making Your Tea Healthier The healthiest cup of tea would be alkaline tea that has been made with micro clustered water. Tap water contains clusters as opposed to single molecule. Average tap water is roughly 10 to 13 molecules per each cluster. When the water is micro clustered, it changes the properties to be 5 to 6 molecules per cluster. This causes water to be more hydrating. There are machines that can micro cluster your water, but the extra step could be a hassle. Another way to make a healthier cup of tea is having alkaline tea steeped in hydrogen rich water. Hydrogen rich water in your alkaline tea helps circulation and digestion, keeps your mind alert and joints lubricated. It detoxifies the body and decreases headaches. Our bodies are 70% water, so that water should be the best water available. Finally, making the water in the alkaline tea an antioxidant would make your tea even healthier and fight against free radicals in the body.
