Reduce Caffeine in Tea Naturally

One thing I have noticed after years of healing is that one of the main problems we have in today's society is consumption of too much caffeine. I cannot drink caffeine myself because my body has what I call, "natural caffeine". However, I know how hard it is to avoid caffeine! The other day I ate a piece of chocolate cake at a restaurant and didn't realize it was made with espresso. I did not sleep all night. I also realize how hard it is to avoid caffeine in black, green and white teas. I have some dear friends who have given me tea as gifts and they are such lovely tempting flavors, but they all contain caffeine. However, there IS a solution. This solution also works if you accidentally pick up that caffeinated tea at the store instead of caffeine free (I did that with some Earl Grey once) or if your favorite tea that you want to enjoy a cup of in the evening just happens to be the one with caffeine in it.

Did you know that you can make your own decaf tea from caffeinated tea? To do this - put the tea bag in the cup, pour boiling water over this, let steep 20 seconds. Pour off the hot water and then pour on new water. The tea still maintains its healing qualities and taste but is no longer caffeinated. This is especially important for Green Tea as it has almost as much caffeine as coffee!

Enjoy your tea!
