Decaffeinating Tea in Three Simple Steps

 

If you prefer decaffeinated tea to regular, but want to avoid the chemical

solvents many manufacturers use in the decaffeination process, you can remove

about 80 percent of the caffeine yourself, through a few simple steps. As an

added bonus, this method retains most of the flavor and the majority of

teas' healthful polyphenols, which can be depleted in chemical decaffeination.

1. Steep the tea for 30 seconds in hot water. This will release most of

the caffeine into the water.

2. Pour off this liquid and discard.

3. Add more fresh hot water, steep as usual, and enjoy!

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
