It is recommended to use a white porcelain bowl or teapot. 3-5 grams each time, and the amount can be increased according to personal taste. For example, if you add 3 grams of tea, add 150-180 ml of water. The water temperature is generally around 85 degrees. It is recommended to use 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 15 seconds for the first time, and then gradually double the time. People who have just started to use it should drain the water a little faster, and then try to drain the tea after each brew!

4. Black rice tea

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black rice has significant medicinal value. Ancient agricultural and medical books record that black rice can "nourish yin and kidney, strengthen the body and warm the stomach, improve eyesight and activate blood circulation", "clear the liver and moisten the intestines", "lubricate and benefit essence, nourish the lungs and relax the muscles" and other effects; it can be used as medicine and food, and is particularly effective for dizziness, anemia, gray hair, sore waist and knees, night blindness and tinnitus. Long-term consumption can prolong life.

Wash the black rice several times with clean water and drain the water; put the washed black rice into a wok and fry it over high heat for 5 minutes to allow the water to fully evaporate; turn to low heat and slowly fry until the black rice cracks and the white rice core is exposed. This process takes about 15 to 20 minutes; store the fried black rice in a sealed box. Use 40g of black rice, add 500g of boiling water, and simmer for 10 minutes to make a pot of delicious black rice tea. This tea helps to resist aging, nourish the kidneys, strengthen the spleen and lose weight.

Finally, a reminder: it is better to drink tea right after brewing. If tea is left for a long time, it will not only lose nutrients such as vitamins, but also easily become fermented and spoiled, which can make people sick. Tea is not easy to store and easily absorbs moisture and becomes moldy. Some people are reluctant to throw away moldy tea. Spoiled tea contains a lot of substances and bacteria that are harmful to the human body and is absolutely not drinkable. If high-quality tea is left for too long after brewing, the tea soup will also deteriorate due to oxidation and the growth of microorganisms. Such tea should not be drunk.
