Healthy T!

Tea is fairly rich in most of the B group vitamins also a good source of vitamin E and K and Beta-carotene (changes into vitamin A in our body).Tea contains traces of minerals like Copper, Flouride and Manganese and the fluoride helps in avoiding cavities in the teeth!

A cup of tea, containing 2 tbsp of milk and a tsp of sugar, yields about 40 calories.Milk contains casein, which makes the tannin in the tea insoluble, thus removing some of its astringency(acidic effect).Apart from the milk and sugar generally added, the tea infusion contains marginal quantities of vitamins and minerals, but no significant quantities of extractable proteins, carbohydrates or fats.
hey catch u later.. its tea time ..
