The correct rules for drinking tea:
Do not drink tea on an empty stomach
Drinking tea on an empty stomach can cause acidity, gas or nausea.
Drink tea 30-60 minutes before or after meals
Drinking tea right after or before meals reduces the absorption of iron from food.
Do not drink more than 2-3 cups a day
Excessive caffeine intake can cause sleep problems, high blood pressure and anxiety.
Avoid caffeinated tea after dinner
It can disrupt sleep.
Add less or no milk and sugar to tea
