Pomegranate tea from Turkey has many fans around the world. As a restorative, vitamin, prophylactic, it is also used by world stars. In this were Will Smith and Jennifer Lopez. Let's talk about how you can make pomegranate tea yourself.

Choose pomegranates and get juice

Ripe pomegranate

To make pomegranate tea yourself, you need to be able to choose a suitable, ripe pomegranate. A good quality fruit will give both benefit and taste for tea. The pomegranate peel must be firm to the touch. The soft crust indicates that the fetus froze during storage or began to rot. The peel should be dry, intact. The ovary - where the flower was - should be without greenery. Such a pomegranate will be ripe and suitable for consumption.

How to get juice

Pomegranate tea needs juice. You can get it in different ways. A standard juicer will do. Remember that the partitions between pomegranate seeds will give bitterness to your juice. Then you have to clean out some juicy grains.

If you have the strength and time, you can stretch the fetus with your hands. After a while, you will feel that enough juice has been released inside the pomegranate. Make a hole in the fruit and drain the juice into a cup.

The easiest way is to buy a store of pomegranate juice. You have to find it is natural juice, not nectar. And there will be no guarantee that pomegranate tea with purchased juice is comparable to tea with a real ripe fruit, from which you got valuable juice. Therefore, the method is easy, but not the best.

In the article I talked about its benefits, how to quickly clean pomegranates, how to get pomegranate juice, so here I talk about this very briefly.

How to make pomegranate tea

Refined, fragrant, sour, Turkish pomegranate tea will quench your thirst and will be beneficial for the body. Brewing it is not so difficult, and there are several ways to cook at home.

"In Turkish"

To make pomegranate tea in this recipe, a steam bath is used. Two heat-resistant containers (teapots) will be needed. You will also need clean water, preferably from natural sources, pomegranate seeds, a couple of teaspoons of black or green tea leaves. In Turkey, special bunk teapots are traditionally used for making tea, including pomegranate.

Tea leaves and pomegranate seeds are poured into a small container. Water is poured into another container, set on fire and brought to a boil. A container with grains and tea is placed on a vessel in which water is about to boil. The infusion should be steamed. The water in the lower tank will boil, then both tanks are removed from the heat. Tea leaves and grains are poured with boiling water. Water is poured into the lower tank again and placed on the fire, the welding vessel is placed on top. When the water in the lower vessel boils for 5 minutes. - Tea is considered ready.

Use as many tea leaves as you usually are used to taking for your tea. Tea strength and the number of pomegranate seeds you can determine for yourself pretty soon.

Simplified recipe

Pomegranate tea can be brewed in a simpler way. We need pomegranate juice, water and your favorite tea leaves. For lovers of sweet tea you will need sugar or honey. But I do not recommend adding sugar to tea.

Tea (black / green) is brewed as usual. Sugar is added to taste, mixed. Tea must be allowed to cool. Then pomegranate juice is added to the cooled drink, it should not be cold. The recommended ratio of tea to juice is 1: 1. But there are no clear rules, and you can change the proportions to taste. For some freshness, mint leaves are suitable for this tea. I don’t like pomegranate tea that is too saturated in juice content.

Pomegranate Tea

You can make pomegranate tea directly from the flowers and leaves of pomegranate. It will be just as useful as in the recipes described above, but it will also have a different, specific taste.

For brewing take a glass of boiling water and 1 tablespoon. of flowers with leaves. Insist, wrapped in cloth, 15 minutes. Having passed, tea can be drunk.

Powder concentrate

You can buy and bring with you a powder - tea-pomegranate, soluble. It should have natural ingredients. In this concentrate there will be tea, dry grated pomegranate, there may be crushed peel, septum, stone. Brew 1 teaspoon in a glass of boiling water. This is the easiest way to make a drink.

As a rule, Turkish pomegranates are processed for powder without the use of preservatives. Ground pomegranate dissolves well. In the peel, bones and partitions there are additional useful components. These are flavonoids, volatile and antioxidants.

Tea in which there are pomegranate seeds with its sour taste can remind many hibiscus. But pomegranate tea and hibiscus tea are not the same thing. They are united by color, but the basis of tea is completely different. In pomegranate tea it will be pomegranate, in hibiscus tea - hibiscus petals. You can read more about it in the article.

I also invite you to watch the video material. Here is a recipe for making cold refreshing pomegranate tea based on green tea. Pleasant and useful in the summer heat.

Where can I buy

In Istanbul, in Antalya, you can find traditional Turkish pomegranate tea in shopping malls or markets. There are juice-soaked tea leaves. There are mixtures of tea and dried pomegranate. Today there are many variations on the subject of this drink. You can choose tea to your liking and taste. When you go to the airport, tourists are always brought to shops. There is nothing there, including a large assortment of teas.

In Russia, you have to look for this type of tea in tea shops or in specialized online stores.

Pomegranate Tea Harm and contraindications

We saw how pomegranate tea is useful, how it can be brewed. Let's talk about possible harm and contraindications. Do not recommend drinking this drink in too much quantity. Abuse will definitely not benefit - there are poisonous alkaloids in the pomegranate peels, albeit in small volumes. Pomegranate peels in tea, if consumed a lot and constantly, can cause cramps, nausea, and vision problems. Overuse of pomegranate tea can damage tooth enamel.

Among the contraindications, pomegranate tea has the following:

• Gastritis, pancreatitis, gastric ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer in the stages of exacerbation;
• Chronic constipation
• Period of pregnancy;
• In childhood - up to a year;

Pomegranate tea is a wonderful refreshing drink that quenches thirst and has its own unique taste. It will give its benefits to the body, give good immunity, a sense of youth. And this is a great opportunity to add something new to a tea party or holiday table.

In the second kettle, water is collected and brought to a boil over a fire. Then we put the tea leaves over boiling water, steam the leaves a little. Next, pour boiling water from the lower teapot into the vegetable mixture in the upper, again draw water and put the structure back on fire. Tea can be considered ready for the moment when the water in the "bath" boil for about five minutes. Some wash dry leaves with water before starting the procedure.
