Decaffeinating Tea Yourself-New Research
Recently there has been new research on this decaffeination process. Although it is only one study, the results look pretty convincing. Originally it was reported that you could decaf your own tea and it would take out about 80% of the caffeine. After examining the study it appears that this is not the case. The study didn’t examine how much caffeine was extracted after 30 seconds, but it appears that it does not take out 80% as originally thought. More research obviously needs to be done. But if you’re in a pinch and need to do something, you can try this method. If you are allergic to caffeine, then try an herbal tisane such as a Rooibos tea which has no caffeine instead.
