How to Make Healthy Tea: In India, tea is not just a beverage; it's a habit. It's an essential part of the lifestyle, without which many households can't even start their day. From the morning's awakening to the evening's fatigue, the aroma and bubbling of tea can be found in every kitchen and on every street corner. There's no shortage of tea lovers in India, but despite this tea craze, the truth is bitter.

Milk, sugar, and repeated boiling gradually make tea a burden on the body. Acidity, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and dehydration – a single cup of tea can have so many negative effects on the body. Even knowing that tea is harmful to health, people can't break the habit of drinking it. While you can prevent the negative effects on the body by drinking tea in moderation, if you are a tea lover and can't change your habit, these healthy tea alternatives can satisfy both your health and taste buds.
