Does drinking tea make you feel bloated? It’s not the fault of the tea But what you add to it Your tea consists of Milk 🥛 Sweeteners 🍙 Tea leaves, of course 🍃 When we boil tea with milk it may cause acidity which gets worse for those who are lactose intolerant The other culprit is the sweetener we add What to do instead? 🍃 Reduce the amount of milk (2 spoons to a cup is generally enough) 🍃 Use Good Quality Tea (Remember the biggest brands might not give the best teas) 🍃 Reduce the sugar 🍃 Brew your tea. Don’t boil it! (Bring water to a boil, turn off the heat, add tea leaves and cover the pan with a lid for about 2-3 minutes) 🍃 If nothing helps, try having black tea with a squeeze of lemon I would love to know your tea experiences.
