Preparation recommendations

Text about the film

There are hundreds if not thousands of preparation options and recommendations for green tea. Another one is now presented here, which, in contrast to most known methods, does not focus on the most pleasant and aromatic taste possible, but rather on the balanced extraction of the different healthy ingredients, especially the catechins, and thus optimizes the best possible health effect is.

The recommendations are based on the dissolving properties of the different groups of ingredients in green tea.

Depending on what you attach greater importance to, you can control how the tea drink will turn out by how you prepare the tea.

We deliberately use calcareous, chlorine-free tap water that has been briefly boiled and then used immediately.

The water temperature is then around 90 degrees C when it first comes into contact with the tea leaves and drops to around 70 degrees as the preparation progresses. The total duration of the extraction is approx. 6-10 minutes, depending on how fine the tea is and how permeable the filter paper is.

During the extraction (steeping) the tea leaves should float freely so that the ingredients can easily be absorbed into the water.

 

Für 1,2 L Tee nahmen wir ca. 12g Teeblätter, schneiden dazu mit einem sehr scharfen Messer dünne Scheiben von einer Bio-Zitrone und übergießen beides mit der Hälfte des heißen Wassers.

Lemons also contain very different phytochemicals with healthy effects. These are present in both the peel and the juice, but in different concentrations.

Zitronensaft enthält zudem u. A. Zitronensäure, die das Kalzium und Magnesium im Wasser so komplex binden, dass diese nicht mit den Tee-Inhaltsstoffen reagieren, was zu einer Trübung oder einem Niederschlag führen würde. Außerdem stehen die wertvollen Mineralien Kalzium und Magnesium durch diese Komplexierung später, genauso wie die Catechine für einen Übergang ins Blut zur Verfügung, können also von Körper aufgenommen werden.

Lemon juice also contains some vitamin C, which prevents the relatively rapid change and oxidation of the healthy tea ingredients, especially the catechins.

Lemon juice or the mixture of citric acid and vitamin C stabilize the catechins and other ingredients of the green tea during preparation and for several hours afterwards, so that green tea prepared in this way does not become significantly darker, cloudy or otherwise unsightly even after hours and can still be drunk cold.

Wir stellen einen Wecker auf 3 Min. ein und starten ihn, sobald das Wasser bei den Teeblättern ist.

Then we move the half-full pot in regular circular movements so that the water and thus the tea leaves “go on a carousel” in the pot.

Durch diese freie Bewegung im Wasser gelangen mehr Inhaltsstoffe der Teeblätter und der Zitrone in den Tee-Aufguss.

Während der Tee extrahiert wird, bereiten wir einen Kaffee-Filter vor, in den wir das Filterpapier einlegen und in dieses dann eine kleine Menge Vitamin C (zwischen 0,2 und einem Gramm) geben.

Over the course of the 3 minutes, we push the carousel again and again and then pour everything together into the prepared coffee filter.

Sobald der Tee weitgehend durch den Filter gelaufen ist, spülen wir mit der 2. Hälfte des Wassers die erste Kanne nach und überführen so die restlichen Teeblätter und das Wasser in den Kaffeefilter.

Auf diese Weise wird der erste Aufguss durch einen 2. nachgespült und im fertigen Tee ist ein Mehr an Inhaltssoffen, als im normalen, einstufigen Verfahren enthalten.

In addition, the first pot has already been washed and at the end only the paper filter with the leached tea leaves and lemon slices has to be disposed of.

If you don't mind a relative. If you object to the sour taste of the tea, you can add a small amount of lemon juice or orange juice to the green tea. This stabilizes the ingredients even further.

 

Tipps und Empfehlungen für die Zubereitung und die tägliche Anwendung:

    At least part of the daily green tea intake should preferably be taken/consumed on an empty stomach or before meals that contain protein in order to benefit from the health effects of the catechins. A little lemon juice (alternatively a little more orange juice) complexes calcium and magnesium in the Water (hard water), so that no cloudiness or precipitation occurs.Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) significantly increases the stability and bioavailability of the catechins! This means that a tea can be kept for over 24 hours. Protein (especially milk protein) hinders the absorption of catechins (and procyanidins) considerably to completely, even in the smallest amounts. Protein does not hinder the absorption of: caffeine, flavonols, theanine, amino acids, minerals .
