You can naturally decaffeinate your tea without harmful chemicals by pouring boiling water over the tea leaves and discarding the first round of tea after 30-45 seconds. Loose leaf tea is recommended, and herbal teas are completely caffeine-free.
Many people today are concerned about their caffeine intake. For some, caffeine makes them jittery, jittery, anxious, and unable to sleep. Instead of settling for the narrow choices of decaffeinated tea, you can actually decaffeinate yourself, without using any of the harmful chemicals that are sometimes used in the decaffeination process.
The amount of caffeine in any given tea will depend on factors such as black, green, or white tea; where the tea leaves were collected; and the temperature and method of infusion. Additionally, some green teas contain more caffeine than some black teas, which comes as a surprise to many. If you are sensitive to caffeine, decaffeinating the tea you drink is recommended.
The process of decaffeinating tea is simple and requires no chemicals. Because caffeine is highly soluble in water, most of the caffeine is released from the tea leaves in less than a minute of steeping. If you wish to decaffeinate your tea naturally, you just need to pour the boiling water into the cup containing the tea leaves and discard the first round of tea, after the tea leaves have steeped for about 30-45 seconds. In effect, you are “flushing” the caffeine off the tea leaves and pouring the caffeine, along with the first cup of tea, down the sink. Then, use the same boiling water to brew your tea as usual.
When preparing to decaf tea at home, you should make sure you are using loose leaf tea, rather than prefilled tea bags. Most loose leaf teas can be used multiple times without losing much flavor, while supermarket tea bags often lose their flavor quite quickly. You also don’t want to steep the tea for too long as you release the caffeine, or you’ll lose a lot of the flavor of the tea as well.
It’s important to remember that if you decaf yourself or buy decaffeinated tea, that “decaffeinated tea” is not, in fact, completely caffeine-free. When you decaf yourself, you get rid of about 80% of the caffeine in black tea. When tea is commercially decaffeinated, between 75 and 90% of the caffeine is removed. If you want a completely caffeine-free beverage, you’ll be better off drinking herbal teas, also known as herbal teas, that contain no caffeine at all.
