Making delicious lemon tea is very simple. Once you’ve brewed your tea using the method described above, pour the tea into a cup and add a slice of lemon. Instead of leaving the lemon in the cup, quickly remove it after about 30 seconds to avoid any bitterness and to enjoy the fresh lemon aroma.
Lastly, here’s a little tidbit about lemon tea. When you add lemon to tea, you may notice that the color becomes slightly lighter. This color change is due to a substance in tea called theaflavins, which are responsible for the red color of tea. Theaflavins have the property of being red when the tea is neutral, but they become lighter in color when the tea becomes acidic. The citric acid in lemon makes the tea acidic, which is why the color lightens.
There’s also a herbal tea called butterfly pea An article stating that blue turns purple when lemon juice is squeezed. I have previously introduced an article stating that blue turns purple when lemon juice is squeezed, but the relationship between water pH and tea is actually quite fascinating when explored in depth. In fact, we were so curious about the pH and tea relationship that we conducted an (admittedly obsessive) experiment where we changed the pH of the water to brew the same tea. I’ll share the results of the experiment with you when I get the chance!
