A glass of tea a former actress drinks in the morning to enjoy life as in youth

December 15 is International Tea Day worldwide. In Russia, they love tea like nowhere else and are perfectly able to brew it. But in December frosts you want something especially warming and vitamin. Therefore, we suggest preparing tea with sea buckthorn and orange.



Both sea buckthorn and oranges are rich in ascorbic acid, the main enemy of colds. And sea buckthorn juice also helps to normalize pressure, lower cholesterol and strengthen immunity.

Tea with buckthorn and orange Ingredients

• 1 tbsp sea buckthorn
• 0.5 peeled orange
• 3 tbsp sugar
• lemon slice (optional)

Preparation

1. Both fresh and frozen berries are suitable for the drink. Fresh should be washed in running water, and frozen pour hot water and leave for 5 minutes.
   
   
   
2. Mix the berries with the sugar in a bowl.
   
   
   
3. Grind the blender to a uniform state.
   
   
   
4. Cut in small pieces or grind in an orange blender. I tried to cut an orange with a peel and grinded an orange without a peel in a blender (for fear of not having enough power). To be honest, I liked the taste of tea and peel more.
   
   
   
   The variety of oranges also matters. If they are very sweet, you can add a piece of lemon. If sour, put more sugar or honey.
   
   
5. Mix in the kettle with a press filter crushed berries and pieces of orange.
   
   
   
6. Pour hot water (not boiling water).
7. Let me brew for 5 minutes.
   
   
   
8. After that, gradually immerse the piston to the bottom of the bulb. This is necessary so that hard parts of berries and peels do not get into the cup. When the drink is ready, you can pour it and enjoy the unique taste.
   
   
   
9. Bon appetit!

In conclusion, I want to say that the taste of sea buckthorn is not very pleasant to me personally. But in combination with orange, it changes for the better. And tea with sea buckthorn and orange not only warms and energizes, but also pleases with a cheerful saturated orange color.
