Lapacho
Various types of exotic plant collections are gaining more and more popularity in European countries. And if green tea, hibiscus, mate and rooibos were tried and loved by many, then not everyone had a chance to buy lapacho and appreciate this original drink from overseas bark.
Originally from South America
Lapacho is truly exotic. In many countries of Central and South America, this tree adorns parks and boulevards. It is also called pink (because of the bright color of the flowers) or ant. The most beautiful tree, especially during flowering, grows up to three tens of meters.
If you are interested in ethnic tea and want to experience a new taste, then lapacho is an excellent choice, since it has many beneficial properties for the body. Aborigines from time immemorial have been familiar with its unique ability to fight ailments: internal and external. The local population of South American countries appreciates the healing capabilities of this tree today.
Ant tree bark
Not flowers, not fruits, not leaves, but the bark becomes the basis of the Lapacho drink. However, the bark of many trees has exceptional qualities. Suffice it to recall the medicines from the bark of willow, oak, Ceylon cinnamon (cinnamon).
This ethnic tea is ground and dried so that it is compared to shavings, sawdust, wood chips. To prepare the infusion, use the inner part of the bark.
Correct brewing - unforgettable taste
Lapacho is, in a sense, a medicinal decoction used in the fight against inflammation, viruses and other ailments. The industrial production of such a brew provides for the presence of useful substances and the absence of toxic ones. Herbal tea, which has a tonic effect, should be brewed with hot water after boiling (cooled to 95-97 degrees).
Pleasure and benefit are combined in Lapacho. Ant tree bark tea has many adherents who know the health benefits after taking it. 1-3 cups of this broth have no contraindications and will help the body resist infections. The "shavings" of this ethnic tea go well when brewed with dried fruits and rose hips, which not only adds the necessary trace elements and vitamins, but also gives the original bitter taste additional notes.
By brewing the bark of the ant tree for 15 minutes, you can get a beautiful brownish drink. There are different recipes in which the water temperature is different. The first option: fill the dry collection with hot water of 95 degrees. For a kettle - 1-2 teaspoons.
The second method: take a tablespoon of "shavings" per liter of cold water, bring to a boil and cook over low heat for no more than 20 minutes, then insist about the same. As for boiling in a saucepan, then, obviously, the content of some substances will change in favor of others. The main elements are tannins, tannins, amino acids, xylodine and also lapachol (which is credited with special benefits).
With any method of brewing, one should not forget about a reasonable dosage, this helps to obtain a therapeutic effect and avoid side undesirable manifestations.
Medicinal decoction
Of course, not every type of tea is useful in unlimited quantities, as well as during pregnancy, lactation or with a special disease. Even a rosehip decoction has contraindications in certain cases. It should be borne in mind that lapacho in the form of tablets is supplied to pharmacies as an immunity-strengthening and antiviral drug. Concentrated pharmaceutical herbal preparations are not just tea, they must be taken after consulting a doctor. Not only "chemistry", but also phytopreparations should be used consciously.
