The principle of making a gift is quite simple - we make tea bags that will charge you with positivity and cheerfulness. To do this, you need to take a pack of bags of your favorite tea and attach a good wish or just a compliment to each of them. It will take from 1 to 2-3 hours of free time to complete all stages. It will take an hour if we make it from ready-made bags, 2-3 hours if we roll them ourselves.
Oh, tea!!! Cozy post.
A cup of hot tea in cold weather is just what you need. But tea not only warms you up and helps with colds. It has many other beneficial properties.
1. Tea protects against illnesses Tea, as already mentioned, helps not only with colds. This drink is rich in antioxidants that fight harmful free radicals in the body. Thus, antioxidants prevent the aging of the body, help cope with infectious diseases, and also prevent cancer.
Antioxidants are found in all types of tea, be it black, green, white, red, etc. But keep in mind: if you add lemon to tea, the drink loses its antioxidant properties. But he receives an additional dose of vitamin C (this vitamin is found not only in lemon, but also in tea). Thanks to this, the drink improves immunity and protects us from viruses and bacteria.
2. Tea invigorates and invigorates. The caffeine contained in tea invigorates and invigorates well. By the way, any tea - be it black, green, red, white, etc. – contains the same amount of caffeine. Therefore, not only black tea or coffee will help you “come to your senses” (as we used to think).
True, if you are very overtired and your condition is already close to painful, then tea will not help: a paradoxical reaction of the blood vessels is possible - they do not narrow, but expand, and instead of cheering you up, you will fall asleep. Tea will not help people with high blood pressure - in this case, the drink will cause a headache.
3. Tea normalizes blood pressure Tea, like coffee, increases blood pressure. This is facilitated by the caffeine contained in tea. Therefore, in people with low blood pressure, the drink normalizes it. And vice versa: people with high blood pressure should drink tea with caution. And it’s better to completely exclude it from the diet.
Instead of tea, it is better to drink mate and rooibos. These drinks do not contain caffeine, but at the same time they also tone the blood vessels of the brain well. In addition, mate and rooibos contain more antioxidants than other types of tea.
4. Tea strengthens blood vessels Thanks to the vitamin P content, tea strengthens the walls of blood vessels and makes them elastic. In addition, vitamin P enhances the effects of vitamin C (which is also found in tea) and helps in the absorption of this vitamin.
5. Tea relieves headaches and relieves stress Due to its caffeine content, tea helps relieve headaches and relieve stress. But only if you drink it in the morning. It is not recommended to drink tea after 13.00 - again because of caffeine, which can negatively affect sleep patterns and cause insomnia.
Five o'clock tea among the British - the custom of drinking tea at five in the evening - is explained by the fact that the inhabitants of Foggy Albion drink weakly brewed tea, which, moreover, is heavily diluted with milk. More precisely, they drink not tea with milk, but milk with tea. Milk reduces the irritating effect of tea, reduces the level of tannins and protects the gastric mucosa.
6. Tea drinking trains the lungs During tea drinking (unless, of course, it is tea drunk in a hurry on the doorstep of the house in the morning), we relax and begin to inhale and exhale deeper. This is how we train our lungs. It also delivers more oxygen to the brain and improves blood circulation.
By the way, hot milk or herbal tea will have the same effect.
7. Tea helps you get rid of extra pounds Green tea and pu-erh tea help you lose weight. Green tea is rich in catechins, which help break down fat. Therefore, those who want to get rid of a couple of extra pounds, if there are no contraindications to drinking tea, can try the tea diet.
Pu-erh tea is a highly tonic tea that speeds up metabolism. Weight decreases accordingly.
Recipes: Tea with cherries and vanilla

Fresh cherries can be replaced with frozen or dried ones. Throw the dried cherries into the teapot at the same time as brewing.
Moroccan-style tea
In Morocco, as in other Arab countries, tea is the most popular drink. Its popularity is facilitated by the religious ban on alcohol and the hot climate.

Tea is brewed in two teapots: one with mint, the other with just strong tea, and then mixed in a glass to taste.

Tea flip with black currants
In Germany, black currants were first mentioned in 1750; white and red currants were known already in the 15th century.
Fresh blackcurrants are rarely eaten; more often they are used to make juice, confiture and the famous liqueur (Cassis from Dijon). Currants are rich in acids, and black currants contain a lot of vitamin C, as well as vitamins B and P and a lot of tannic acid (tannin): up to 0.34 g per 100 g. Since picking berries by hand is expensive and tedious, varieties are now being created that can be picked using machines. Ingredients
Half a liter of water, 7 tsp.

Easy way
For work you will need: 1. beautiful paper (for example, for scrap) - 1 sheet 2. thread and needle or stapler 3. ready-made tea bags Manufacturing procedure 1. Take tea bags and cut off their tags, leaving the thread. 2. We print out or write by hand on cardboard all our wishes or compliments. If you want to fit into the dimensions of a standard label, then each rectangle should be 2x3 cm. You can print the wishes on plain paper and glue them to scrap paper to make the label thick and beautiful. 3. We sew each label to the thread from the bag or attach it to it with a stapler. 4. We return everything back to the box or put it in a special house or box. All is ready! Fast, simple and very effective! Here's how to design the box itself:
Creative way
In a more complex version, you will have to make not only the labels yourself, but also the bags themselves. There are two advantages: - you can mix whatever you want inside, for example, buy dried currants or thyme, take any type of tea, and the main thing is that the tea itself can be of high quality, without dyes and other unnecessary stuff in the composition; — the bag itself can be given any shape, for example, a heart. And although further on I will show how to make a classic shape, this does not prevent you, if you wish, from using any simple origami pattern or simply cutting out 2 hearts and sewing them together with threads, filling them with any tea of your choice.
There is only one minus - it will take a little more time and materials to work. Here's what you'll need: 1. tea, herbs, berries for filling; 2. filter bags for brewing tea (like those in the photo); 3. scissors and stapler, 4. needle and thread, 5. glue stick, 6. beautiful paper and pen (for labels). Some people use coffee filters instead of tea filter bags, but in fact, brewing passes through them very poorly, so it’s better not to take them. Now about how to do it. 1. Fill the filter bags with tea leaves. 2. Fold the corners of the bag towards each other, bend the edge and fasten with a stapler.
3. Take a thread, cut off 10 cm, tie a knot and use a needle to thread it under the stapler bracket so that the knot is hidden inside. 4. We print wishes on a printer or write them by hand, cut them into separate labels. For the back of the tag, cut the scrap paper into rectangles. 5. Using a glue stick, we glue the tag with the wish, and between it and the scrap paper backdrop we insert the tip of our thread. The bag is ready, all that remains is to make 24 more to the size of a standard box. At the end of the work, we again put them in a regular box, either in a box, or in a special house. The gift is ready!
You can complement this gift with multi-colored sugar hearts or a box for storing tea bags. You will get a full-fledged gift that is suitable for Valentine's Day, February 23 or March 8, and just for a good mood for every day! Enjoy your tea!
