In Great Britain, there are sacred traditions to be respected, and the famous tea time is one of them. Tea is indeed an institution across the Channel:whether it is the time at which it should be drunk and the way in which it should be prepared, nothing is left to chance. And on this last point, the scientist Quan Vuong created astonishment by affirming after several years of research that it was better to heat his tea… in the microwave oven! The doctor, who works at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia, specializes in ways to "enhance" natural products by extracting their bioactive compounds which have antioxidant properties (and are therefore very good for health). In his study on green tea and black tea, the expert discovered that heating the beverages in the microwave helped to isolate the important compounds:the method activates 80% of caffeine, theine and polyphenols (antioxidants increasingly used in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer). And that's not all:it also optimizes the flavors of tea, as reported by the site ABC News .
The procedure is as follows:fill your cup with water and place the sachet in it, heat everything for 30 seconds in the microwave at medium power then leave to stand for 1 minute. Tada, you can enjoy your tea and enjoy all its benefits! If the tip would delight any lover of the beverage, we think, it did not really please our British neighbors who reacted to the discovery with a lot of humor on Twitter. To the ABC News page post announcing “Want a perfect cup of tea? Heat it up in the microwave! “, Internet users replied:“Sacrilege », «Savages! », « This may be the cause of a Third World War “How dare you? », « Civilization is in full decline “, “It’s immoral or “Don't fall into the trap. It's a ploy by the Americans to spy on you through your microwave ". Yes, in the United Kingdom the water for tea must be boiled or else nothing… Failing to convince the traditional Britons, the advice did not fall on deaf ears around here… Try it as soon as possible!
