Instructions / Recipe
Steep dried green tea leaves in hot water (80 degrees Celsius) for 3 to 5 minutes. Consume the tea immediately after consuming meals containing dietary iron.
Side Effects
Caffeine sensitivity, insomnia, and potential interference with the absorption of other essential trace minerals.
