Can pregnant women drink bubble tea?
Pregnant women should drink less foam tea, preferably not.
Bubble tea is a kind of milk tea containing pearls. "Pearl" is generally made of cassava flour (a kind of starch) and has no toxic side effects. However, milk tea is not suitable for pregnant women. It contains some caffeine, which will affect pregnant women's sleep, stimulate fetal movement and endanger fetal growth and development.
In addition, some milk teas on the market contain creamer and essence. Moreover, it is a high-sugar and high-fat food, which is not conducive to the health of pregnant women, and it is also easy to cause pregnant women to gain weight and increase production risks. Therefore, pregnant women can only eat a small amount of bubble tea, and it is best not to drink it.
If pregnant women want to drink bubble tea, it is best to buy milk tea from big brands and supermarkets. It is better to do it yourself, which is safer and more hygienic.
How does bubble tea control itself?
1, the method of pearl powder rounding
Ingredients: cassava flour100g, 70g of water, 25g of brown sugar.
Exercise:
(1) Pour water and brown sugar into a pot and bring to a boil. Be sure to cook. If the powder is thin and does not agglomerate after adding water, either the powder is wrong or the water is not boiled.
(2) Pour the boiled sugar water into a basin filled with cassava powder at one time. Don't hesitate to divide it into several times. Stir with chopsticks to make all the powder absorb water.
(3) At this time, the powder in the basin must be agglomerated, poured on the chopping board and kneaded evenly.
(4) Roll out the dough while it is hot, cut it into long strips and short granules, then knead it into dough, and sprinkle some dry powder if it is sticky; If it's not round when it's dry, put some water on your hands. During the whole process, try to keep warm and cover it with wet cloth or plastic wrap. If there is temperature, the dough is soft and easy to handle.
(5) Prepare a pot of clean water to boil, pour in rice balls, cook until they float, take them out, rinse with tap water, and remove mucus.
(6) Boil the water in the pot again, and then pour it in again until the pearl ball is boiled into a transparent color.
(7) Cooked rice noodles are supercooled with cold water to ensure Q-bomb.
Tips:
(1) The color of pearl powder balls can be customized, and it is generally easier to add brown sugar water.
(2) Don't cook the prepared rice balls once, put the rest in a bag and freeze hard, and cook next time.
(3) If you can't finish the cooked rice balls, don't soak them in water. Once they expand, they will lose their bite force.
2. The practice of milk tea
Materials: 2 packets of black tea, 2 cubes of sugar, black and white light milk 100ml, 380 ~ 400 ml of water.
Exercise:
(1) Pour clear water into the pot and boil, add tea bags and boil 1 ~ 2 minutes.
(2) Add sugar cubes, pour in light milk, and then roll up and leave the fire.
(3) Tip:
(1) Add pearl powder balls directly into the milk tea cups that have been boiled for several minutes to make bubble tea.
(2) After trying, it was found that putting rice balls first and then pouring them into boiled milk tea, its taste was not as good as putting milk tea for a few minutes and then adding Q-bombs into pearl rice balls.
Six myths of bubble tea.
1, milk in milk tea is creamer, and creamer is trans fatty acid.
Some tea shops will use cream instead of milk. Cream contains hydrogenated vegetable oil, but it may contain trans fat, but the content is not high. According to the survey data, the average trans fat content of milk tea/creamer is only 0.41g100g, which is lower than the warning line of trans fatty acid supply ratio 1%, so you don't have to worry too much about trans fatty acids when drinking milk tea occasionally. But don't eat more milk tea. There is still a lot of saturated fat and sugar in milk tea. In fact, if you go to a tea shop, you can ask what milk is made of. Generally, there are choices of creamer and milk in shops, but milk will be more expensive.
2. The tea taste of milk tea is essence, which is harmful to health.
As long as the essence allowed by China is used, it has passed the safety assessment and has been recognized by more than two developed countries, then the safety can basically be assured. Because it is too fragrant and smelly, the essence in a cup of milk tea is generally not excessive, but it is not beneficial in general, but it is harmful to eat more.
The sweetness of milk tea is saccharin, which is harmful.
Sweeteners such as saccharin, sodium cyclamate and aspartame are generally used in milk tea. As long as the addition amount is within the specified range (the maximum addition amount of beverage is 0. 15g/kg), it is still safe. For the average person, it is difficult to eat the warning line of saccharin content through sweets in one day, so don't worry too much. However, even though it may be harmless, it is not beneficial after all. Might as well drink less.
The pearls in the bubble tea are added with plastic.
The pearl in bubble tea is a round product made of starch, which is harmless. In order to make the "pearl" more elastic, wheat protein may be added, which will not affect human health except that some people may be allergic. In addition, some food additives will be used in the processing of "Pearl" powder balls, which are generally legally allowed, so there is no need to worry about safety. But it's definitely not good.
5. Drinking milk tea will hinder the health care function of tea.
Many people think that protein in milk will combine with polyphenols in tea and reduce the efficacy of tea. But according to in vitro experiments, although adding milk to tea will reduce the antioxidant activity. However, after drinking milk tea, protein will be decomposed and digested, and polyphenols may be released again, which will not affect the absorption of catechins (the most important kind of tea polyphenols). Therefore, it is inconclusive that drinking milk tea will hinder the health care function of tea.
6, drink milk tea to get kidney calculi
Milk tea contains less tea and less oxalic acid, and can combine with calcium to produce less calcium oxalate. Moreover, calcium oxalate is difficult to be absorbed by the intestine, generally it will not be absorbed into the body to form kidney calculi (the absorption rate is only 2.4%), but will be directly discharged from the large intestine with human excrement. So there is no evidence that milk tea will increase the risk of kidney calculi.
