Disadvantages of drinking tea by heating it again and again

Affects the taste

We often drink tea to make ourselves feel fresh. Its fragrance and taste attract us towards itself. In such a situation, if you heat tea again and again, its taste is completely lost. Tea stored for a long time secretes a lot of tannins which makes the tea taste bitter. This can cause a bad taste in your mouth

Affects health

Drinking tea after heating it again and again destroys the nutrients present in it. Due to this, you may have problems like constipation, digestive problems, stomach pain, bloating and vomiting. Food poisoning bacteria grow in tea that is exposed to heat between 41 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Bacteria accumulate rapidly in milk tea. If fungus develops in it, it can cause great harm to health. Due to this, problems like intestinal problems start occurring.

Keep these things in mind

If only 10 to 15 minutes have passed since the tea was made, then you can heat it and drink it. But if it has been a few hours like 3 to 4 hours since the tea was kept, do not make the mistake of heating it. Always make tea only in the quantity that you need. If you also want to heat tea, use the double boiler method.
