Hello! Can you teach me how to use bee pollen in tea?
Of course! First, you need to acquire bee pollen, which is usually available in health food stores or online. The amount of bee pollen you should use might vary based on personal preference, but as a general rule, you could start with a teaspoon.
Got it. What do I do with the bee pollen? Do I just drop it into the tea?
Well, bee pollen could be added either directly into the tea or you can mix it with a small amount of honey first and then add this mixture into your tea. Make sure your tea is warm, not hot, as extreme heat might destroy some of the beneficial properties of the bee pollen.
Okay, I see. And when should I add the bee pollen? Before or after I steep the tea?
You should add the bee pollen after you've finished steeping your tea. This way, the warm tea can help dissolve the bee pollen, allowing you to drink it more easily and to get all the nutrients.
That's really helpful. Do you have any recommendations on what type of tea goes best with bee pollen?
You can add bee pollen to any kind of tea, but it pairs especially well with herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint due to its slightly sweet, floral flavor. Experiment with a few different types and see what you like best!
