Most people can safely drink up to 3 cups (710 mL) of pu-erh tea per day, unless they’re also consuming large quantities of other caffeinated beverages.
Research is lacking on how much pu-erh tea you should drink daily to experience its potential weight loss benefits, but 1–2 cups (240–480 mL) per day is a good starting point.
How to brew pu-erh tea
What you need
- • pu-erh tea — a single cake or 3–4 grams of loose leaf tea per cup you plan to make
- • boiling water
- • a teapot with a strainer
- • teacups or mugs
- • optional extras like cream, milk, or sweetener
Steps
Place the pu-erh tea cake or loose leaves in the teapot and add just enough boiling water to cover the leaves, then discard the water. Repeat this step once more, being sure to discard the water. This “rinse” helps ensure a high quality tea.
Fill the teapot with boiling water and allow the tea to steep for 2 minutes. Based on your taste preferences, you can steep for a longer or shorter period.
Pour the tea into teacups and add extras as desired. *
