However, the question of whether it is possible to add honey to hot tea has not yet been given an unambiguous answer. Some scientists are inclined to believe that it is harmful and even dangerous to health, while others argue that there is no threat.
How should I properly cook and consume honey with tea?
The most reasonable solution would be to drink tea mixed with honey. It is important to ensure that the temperature of the drink does not exceed 40 ° C.
This method of using a beekeeping product is good for many reasons:
- Achieving the maximum therapeutic effect.
- Preservation of useful properties in full.
- Disclosure of taste qualities.
In addition, such a temperature of tea is not harmful to the digestive system.
Another rule is to refuse to eat honey on an empty stomach. This is due to the fact that after it enters the esophagus, enzymes are immediately produced that accelerate the process of food processing.
It is permissible to add honey directly to tea if desired, but in this case it is extremely important to observe the temperature regime: the drink should not be hotter than 60 ° C. The optimal indicator is no more than 40 °C.
