DECAFFEINATING TEA IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

Decaffeinating Tea in Three Simple Steps image

This is from Dr Weil. 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.Chemist Kathryn Petty adds the first thing released when tea is brewed is caffine,then the color and finally the flavor. Understandable! Oh don't throw the first batch away I'm sure your mulch pile or after cooled a plant would like it!

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 decaffeinated tea bags
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 orange
1 gallon water

Steps:

Using a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup (must be microwaveable), add about 3 cups water. I prefer purified or bottled, room temp is best.
Put the three tea bags in the water and lightly knead the bags to make sure they are soaked. Don't over do it or they could tear.
Place the measuring cup into microwave and cook for 3 minutes. Depending on your power output you may increase or decrease the time.
Let the tea steep for about 15 minutes.
While it is steeping, cut an orange into 3-4 slices, throwing out the ends.
Drop the slices into a 1 gallon pitcher.
Add the sugar, covering the slices pretty good.
(Sometimes I shake the pitcher to ensure the sugar coats the orange slices well)
When tea had steeped and is still warm, pour over the orange/sugar and stir. Warm tea will help dissolve the sugar making a better blended product.
Add water, not a full gallon as this will dilute the recipe. I use about 3/4 gallon. Stir well.
Pour over lots of ice and enjoy!
