You've been doing it wrong: the rules for brewing delicious tea

Tea is a favorite drink of many people. It is drunk every day, morning, afternoon and evening. But how do you make the perfect tea?

A study by chemists has shown that to make the perfect tea, you need to add salt to it. This secret was known hundreds of years ago, but only now has received scientific confirmation. About it writes Shuba.

Salt helps to reduce the bitterness of tea. This is due to the fact that the sodium ion contained in salt is involved in the chemical mechanism that causes a sense of bitter taste. A small pinch of salt is enough to neutralize the astringency and bitterness of the drink.
