How not to add lemon to tea: many do it too early - an obvious mistake

This is important.

Many tea lovers always add a slice of lemon to their drink, informs Ukr.Media.

And that's right. Firstly, thanks to such an additive, the drink acquires a very bright and pleasant taste.

Secondly, the drink becomes much more useful.

Yes, due to lemon juice, the antioxidant activity of tea increases.

But when adding a piece of citrus fruit to a drink, many people make a gross mistake.

As a result, the drink does not acquire new useful properties. In other words, the lemon addition becomes pointless in terms of making the tea a healthier drink.

How can you not add lemon to tea?

Many people do it too soon: they throw a lemon slice into the tea right after it starts brewing.

This is very bad: too high a temperature deprives the lemon juice of antioxidants.

To prevent this from happening, wait until the tea is a little less hot.

The maximum permissible temperature of a drink to which a piece of citrus fruit can be added is 70 degrees.

If this condition is met, tea with lemon will be as useful as possible.
