Nothing can soothe the body and soul on a cold winter day as much as a piping hot cup of tea. It does not really matter which type of tea - black, green, oolong, chair or green. Every type of hot tea has a wonderful taste of its own and its own impressive nutritional benefits.
January is known as National Hot Tea Month, and this is a great time to recognize the benefits of tea. After water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on earth. It is found in almost 80% of homes in the US.

Another study has found that black tea can stabilize the blood pressure. Rea also has been found to be at least linked to cancer prevention in some patients.

Tea Brewing Tips
To brew a perfect cup of hot tea, try these tips for size:
- Heat it up - Brewing hot tea is best for preserving the high levels of antioxidants in this beverage, so make the tea nice and hot. Bottled tea usually has more sugar than antioxidants.
- Buy organic tea - Organic brands cost more but they are not sprayed with pesticides, and the packaging has less chance of breaking down in the cup.
- Don't use milk - Studies have suggested that adding milk dilutes the health benefits of brewed black tea.
- Add cinnamon - This spice adds zest to a cup of tea, as well as health benefits. Cinnamon may help to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol.
