🔬 How to Use This Tea Safely & Effectively
The Evidence-Based Brewing Method:
Use Loose Leaf/Whole Ingredients: Pre-packaged tea bags often contain lower-quality, powdered ingredients with reduced potency.
Fenugreek Preparation: Lightly crush or grind the seeds before steeping to release more active compounds.
Steeping Time: 5-7 minutes is sufficient. Over-steeping green tea can make it bitter and increase caffeine extraction.
Timing: Drinking it 30 minutes before a meal may help moderate the post-meal glucose spike due to fenugreek’s fiber content.
Sweetener: If needed, use stevia or monk fruit (both have minimal effect on blood glucose).
Realistic Expectations:
This tea should be viewed as a complementary therapy, not a primary treatment.
Effects are modest and cumulative—don’t expect dramatic overnight changes.
The benefits come from daily, consistent use over weeks and months.
