Some common mistakes we are doing while making chai

Tea is love for so many people but did you know that certain practices involving milk can lead to acidity gas bloating? Doing these three things can definitely lead to acidity and gut issues.

  1. Over Boiling Milk & Tea Together – When milk is over-boiled with tea, it can lead to a breakdown of proteins and lactose, causing acidity for some individuals. To avoid this, try adding milk to your tea after it’s brewed and cooled slightly. This preserves the integrity of the milk while enhancing the flavor of your tea.
  2. Not Consuming Tea Within 10 Minutes – Leaving your tea sitting for too long after preparation can also contribute to acidity issues. Aim to enjoy your tea within 10 minutes of brewing to savor its freshness and prevent any potential acidity from developing.
  3. Reheating Your Prepared Tea – Reheating tea, especially if it contains milk, can alter its composition and lead to acidity. It’s best to prepare only as much tea as you plan to consume in one sitting to maintain its quality and avoid acidity concerns. We recommend enjoying Acidity Relief tea when you’re feeling bloated. It can help soothe your digestive system and provide relief.

By being mindful of these practices, you can savor your tea without worrying about acidity.
