People have turned to hibiscus tea for its soothing health benefits since the time of the pharaohs. Yet, according to a study from the Czech University Life Sciences Prague, hibiscus contained so much aluminum that they warned pregnant women, babies, and individuals with kidney disorders to completely avoid drinking this tea.

Of course, you can still enjoy your favorite tea, but you need to be aware of what you’re consuming. Besides avoiding certain teas, there are many ways to get the most out of your tea.

Make sure to brew the tea with a tea bag or filter. Try putting the boiling water after the tea and not before.

Also, brew tea for just three or four minutes because boiling it longer can increase contaminants levels. With this in mind, you can drink your tea safely without worrying about heavy metals.
