Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hey BrandyK, To decaffeinate tea, simply brew it for 30 seconds and throw it out. Then you can steep the tea as usual. Caffeine is the first alkaloid to be released and 99%+ comes out in the first bit of brewing.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks for sharing that Peter! Is that one of the cat lady's trade secrets? :-) Sarita Kundalini-Awakening-Systems- 1 , " peter.nichols " <peter wrote: > > Hey BrandyK, > > To decaffeinate tea, simply brew it for 30 seconds and throw it out. > Then you can steep the tea as usual.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I copped it from the fine living channel. Kate has many talents, but cooking lore is not one. The teas she makes are Chinese herbal medical teas and only for the stout of heart and weak of taste buds. But they work! Peter , " Sarita " <sarita1969 wrote: > > Thanks for sharing that Peter!
