Traditional Folk Health Drink--Red Tea Mushroom

The film of black tea mushroom is similar to the skin of jellyfish, commonly known as "sea mushroom", "sea treasure", the fungal liquid can help digestion, treatment of gastric diseases, also known as "stomach treasure", the English name is "KOMBUCHA". "KOMBUCHA". Native to the Bohai Sea area of Shandong Province, China, more than 150 years ago to Lake Baikal and the Caucasus and other places, and later to Japan, Europe and the United States. Japanese people call Haibao as "black tea mushroom" or "black tea mushroom", while the Soviet Union called it "tea mold" or "tea Gervais ", and Europeans and Americans call it KOMBUCHA.

The entity of black tea bacteria is mainly composed of three kinds of beneficial microorganisms, yeast, acetic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria, the three complement each other, in order to "*** raw" state of metabolism, and metabolites dissolved into the culture fluid, microbial aggregates (i.e., the bacterial membrane) floating on the surface of the liquid, creamy-white color, the mother of the bacteria was yellowish-brown or brownish-red, floating in the membrane, the microorganisms were not in the liquid. or brown-red, floating in the membrane or in the liquid. Three kinds of bacteria due to different habits, distribution and function are not the same.

Yeast is an ovoid unicellular fungus, which can carry out anaerobic respiration in anoxic environment, and ferment sugars into alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy. Therefore, mostly distributed in the lower part of the black tea mushroom entity. Black tea mushroom liquid many compounds of nutritional value to the human body right in the yeast cells, its nitrogen content (including protein, base acid, etc.) than meat 2 times higher than eggs 4 times higher than fresh milk 15 times higher; its vitamin B content is also greatly exceeded by the content of beans, wheat, peanuts and tomatoes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall membrane can produce a biological cytosol, called "B Gurugan", is said to have anti-cancer effect.

Acetic acid bacteria is the main microorganisms in the black tea bacteria, rod-shaped, peripheral flagellum, is an aerobic bacteria. It absorbs the alcohol decomposed by yeast and the oxygen in the air, oxidizing it into acetic acid, water and energy, making the bacterial liquid strongly acidic, and thus is a very good fungicide, which can inhibit the propagation and growth of other harmful bacteria. It is mainly distributed in the upper layer of black tea bacterial body. Drinking the bacterial liquid containing acetic acid bacteria can help gastrointestinal digestion, enhance absorption and reduce blood lipids.

Lactobacillus, including Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, is a smelly bacillus. It can secrete lactase, lactose hydrolysis into glucose and galactose, and then fermented into lactic acid and gluconic acid, the generated glucose can be used for yeast fermentation. Lactobacillus is acid-resistant, mostly found in the lower part of the body, and yeast **** birth. Lactic acid bacteria can inhibit the reproduction of intestinal spoilage bacteria, prevent and hinder the decomposition of harmful bacteria to generate toxic substances, at the same time, can also synthesize the human body needs vitamins B1, B6, B12, K, E and creatine, folic acid and other substances. These microorganisms synthesize nutrients with a strong ability to synthesize nutrients every day and night as much as 30 to 40 times their own weight, for the general animals and plants are not as good as.

Yeast, acetic acid bacteria and lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms need the medium, is made of tea and sugar. Sugar is an indispensable nutrient in people's daily life, is a source of energy for life activities, tea contains a wider range of nutrients; such as tea polyphenols, proteins, amino acids, sugars, and caffeine chips, but also contains various types of minerals, such as manganese, tungsten, potassium, copper and so on, which have a certain physiological effect on the human body. If the medium is constantly supplemented with tea juice and sugar, then yeast, acetic acid bacteria and lactobacilli can not only survive in it, but also to breed and develop, produce more metabolites, for people to use.

According to research, black tea bacteria bacteria liquid there are more than 30 kinds of nutrients, which is especially organic acids (including lactic acid, acetic acid, folic acid, etc.), sugars (including glucose, fructose, sucrose, galactose, etc.), vitamins (C and B especially), amino acids, lecithin, coenzyme A, carbon dioxide and so on, will be a large number of increases. Individually, the amount of these substances is not high. But on the whole, it is rich in nutrients and has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Many drinkers often serve will feel an increase in appetite, stool secretion smooth, immunity enhancement, some diseases are controlled, and even cured.

Black tea bacteria production is convenient, drinkable, is a traditional healthy home brew beverage

Raw materials and utensils

Tea: black tea, green tea, oolong tea, floral tea and other types of tea can be, but the tea ash, moldy tea, etc. should not be used.

Sugar: rock sugar, sugar, glucose and honey is appropriate, brown sugar (or sugar) and sugar residue can not be used.

Water: It is best to use cool water, pure water, spring water and other clean water.

Bacteria mother membrane: the best fresh, pure, healthy milky white with yellow membrane.

Container: Use two clean wide-mouth bottles, boil and sterilize them.

Production method

1. tea and sugar water equipped

Tea, sugar, water according to the ratio of 1:10:100 into the teapot to cook for 10 minutes;

can also be like the weekday robe tea, will be 5 grams of tea, a spoonful of sugar, into the teacups, brewed on the boiling water, to be cooled to the tea and sugar water to 20 ° C -30 ° C, tea and sugar water filtering, pure tea, tea and sugar water. Sugar water for filtration, pure filtrate poured into a sterilized wide-mouth bottle (filtrate for the wide-mouth bottle can be two-thirds of the volume),

2. black tea bacteria inoculation

Inoculation on the selected bacteria on the mother membrane, and pour into the mother liquor, and then use gauze to bandage the mouth of the bottle. When inoculating the bacterial membrane, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, do not infected with stray bacteria. Bottle placed in a place to avoid sunlight and smooth, to be about 10 days (high temperature, short time; low temperature, long time), the bacterial membrane rapidly increased, full of liquid, culture solution color becomes light, the solution becomes turbid, bubbles, and volatile sweet and sour aroma, at this time you can drink.

3. Post-ripening treatment

Drinking and eating, you can gently pour the liquid into the cup (about 2/3 to 3/4 of the culture liquid), the mother of the bacteria and the remaining part of the bottle is still retained, and then according to the above mentioned concoctions of tea and sugar water, pouring into the bottle slowly. Two wide-mouth bottles can be alternately cultivated for food, the cycle is inexhaustible.

4. Take black tea mushroom soup

When drinking, the acidity of black tea mushroom liquid can be adjusted according to personal preference, too acidic can be added sugar and cold boiled water or diluted with tea soup. It is appropriate to drink 100 to 200 ml per person per day, either once or in parts. As the bacteria liquid is acidic, pH 2 ~ 4, generally do not take with drugs, especially with alkaline drugs. Some first-time drinkers will have some side effects after taking black tea bacteria, such as excitement and insomnia, stomach acidity, mild diarrhea, itchy skin and so on. If you drink for a long time, most of the symptoms will disappear on their own. If you do not adapt, you can only stop drinking.

Precautions

When making black tea mushrooms, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. The fungus mother should be well selected, and prevent the infection of stray bacteria. Once the stray bacteria infection occurs, it can not be consumed;

2. When the mushroom mother is aging, i.e., when the mushroom mother is brownish-red or tea-colored, it should be re-inoculated and cultivated again;

3. The cultivation vessels and utensils should be washed, and then sterilized by boiling water for 20 minutes;

4. The utensils and utensils should be made of transparent lead-free glass or ceramic products with no colored glaze, and metal products should not be used;

5. It is most suitable to cultivate the bacterial liquid at 25℃-30℃, but avoid sunlight exposure and shock avoidance.

The black tea bacteria have unique nutritional health care functions

1, prevention and treatment of gastric diseases

The black tea bacterial liquid has an anti-Helicobacter pylori effect, and has a very good therapeutic effect on atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer.

2, supplement probiotics

Due to the abuse of antimicrobials, the probiotic flora in the intestinal tract is destroyed, leading to a decline in resistance, and health is at risk.

Lactobacilli are essential in the human body and have important physiological functions of the flora, lactobacilli can inhibit abnormal fermentation in the intestines, prevent the human body from absorbing toxins generated by the decomposition of harmful bacteria, but also use some substances in the intestines to produce a variety of vitamins, which can help the human intestinal tract, so that the human body is free from rapid aging. The number of lactic acid bacteria in the intestines is an important indicator of human health, and the number of lactic acid bacteria will gradually decrease as people age, and the number of lactic acid bacteria in the intestines may decrease to 10% in old age.

Yeast is rich in protein, containing dozens of amino acids, of which none of the eight essential amino acids. Yeast protein also has the function of anti-cancer and dissolve cancer cells. Yeast cells also contain a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin B content is the highest.

Acetic acid bacteria is the main microorganisms in black tea bacteria, acetic acid produced by the acetic acid bacteria, its strong acidity, can clear the stomach, help digestion, prevention and treatment of constipation, to improve the stability of vitamins, prevention of harmful germs, viruses invasion, prevention of colds.

Black Tea Mushroom Liquid contains a large number of active lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, yeast, can adjust the intestinal flora, promote human health.

3. Enhance liver detoxification

Gluconic acid in black tea bacteria has a detoxification effect, which can be combined with phenolic substances in the body (harmful carcinogens) into lipids, which can be smoothly discharged from the body.

4. Relieve gout and kidney stones

Regulate the PH value of the body, relieve gout and kidney stone symptoms.

5, the prevention of cardiovascular disease

The black tea bacteria liquid can reduce cholesterol, improve atherosclerosis, prevention of cardiovascular disease, delay aging.

6, improve immunity

Acetic acid in black tea bacteria can stimulate and generate paracortical hormones, paracortical hormones are the root of the body's natural healing power, is the defense of life. Therefore, drinking Black Tea Mushroom Liquid can improve immunity and prevent colds.

7, weight loss

The black tea bacteria and tea (or green tea, flower tea and other teas) brewed from the black tea bacteria brewed from the liquid with a variety of health benefits, containing a large number of probiotics and nutrients, is a very low sugar carbonated beverage, often drink to promote metabolism, to avoid obesity.
