Milk Counteracts The Benefits of Tea

A study published in the European Heart Journal found that the addition of milk to tea totally ruins any health benefits of tea to the cardiovascular system. This may explain the lack of health benefits to tea drinkers in the UK where milk is commonly added. So keep drinking your daily dose of tea, but just add lemon.

Best Way To Store Tea

The best way to store tea is to keep it in a glass jar with a metal lid. Be sure to store away from light such as a pantry or cupboard.

Popularity of Tea Continues to Climb

Tea popularity still continues to climb at a roaring pace. According to WebMD, studies show that white tea, green tea, and black tea are filled with antioxidants that rein in free radicals that can trigger heart disease, diabetes, and even alzheimers. Three cups a day are enough to make a difference in health, so drink a variety of teas for your health and enjoy.

Creative Uses For Teapot Favors

Teapot favors are very popular now for giving to guests at a tea party. They can be given as guests leave the party, or set on each plate to add color and charm to your table. But, another creative use of teapot favors is to set at each place setting and fill with cream for coffee or tea. Usually, you will see the dimensions at approximately 2 1/2" - 2 3/4"High x 4" - 4 1/2"Long x 1 3/4" - 2"Deep. Your guests will love having their own personal creamer at the table! And, they can take them home as a special remembrance of your party.
