Black bean tea

I have a 83 years old uncle and he still has a full head of black glory.  Unlike my dad, his already turned white at 75.

Lately for me and my hub,  I too noticed that we are having more and more grey hair.

Well I am not defying Mother Nature but if I can help it, I will try to defer it for a few good years.

Saw this article that said, drinking Black Bean tea helps to maintain the black hair and has anti aging properties.  Since I have a packet of black bean, I decided to add this to our diet from now on.

Black beans are a good source of zinc which aids hair growth and repair cycle.  It also has iron, biotin and folate.

Findings: The roasted black bean taste is very mild.  I am sure my kids won't be able to detect any differences from drinking plain water.

What you need:

200g black bean

Method:

Rinse and remove impurities.  Drain well.

Preheat oven at 190°C.

Spread beans on a baking sheet and bake it for 10 mins.

Remove and shake them up.

Return to oven and continue to bake for another 10 mins until you see how of the beans cracked.

Remove and cool completely before storing in jar.

Add some beans into cup and pour boiling water.  Let's it seep for 10 mins. 

Drink as normal water consumption.  You can add ice cube to turn it into a cold beverage.
