Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world. Here there was a place for magnificent sunny beaches, monumental pyramids and unusual yellow tea - helba. From time immemorial, the local population not only knew about its existence, but also highly appreciated its positive properties.
Hippocrates used the drink to treat most gynecological diseases. It has been established that fenugreek (the basis of tea) is able to relieve discomfort during the menstrual cycle.
Helba tea leaves were used as tinctures, tea leaves, medicines, ground powder and food additives. The drink was also known under other names - abish, helba, fenugreek, chaman, shamballa, camel grass. The recipe for its brewing has not actually changed, despite the fact that several centuries have passed since then.
Delving into the features of the production of Helba yellow tea, it should be noted that this is not tea in its classical sense. It is not extracted from the leaves of tea bushes. The basis of the drink is the seeds of a plant known as "fenugreek hay", related to legumes. Traditionally, they are used in cooking, medical purposes, in South America, Ethiopia, India and China, as well as in a number of other regions.

Inflorescences can be multiple or solitary, often yellowish in color, less common with blue or purple flowers. The leaves are small, up to 4 cm wide.
Helba fruits are cylindrical in shape and resemble flat beans with a long oblong spout. It is they who have the properties for which this plant is so valued. The fruits have a very specific smell, similar to the aroma of a nut. They are used to make spices and as a medicine.
Helba is native to Tibet. Gradually, this plant spread to the southern countries - Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia. Today, the Helba plant is grown and used almost all over the world.
According to one of the ancient doctors, if you put all the diseases that mankind suffers on one side of the scales, and helba on the other, then the scales will balance.

It is customary to brew Helba, because the drink is not a classic, full-fledged tea.
Before preparing a special drink, the tea seeds used must be thoroughly washed, and then dried for two days. To do this, the seeds of the plant are carefully laid out on paper, left in a dry place.
How to brew helba correctly?
Based on seeds, it is customary to brew a healthy drink, observing the following proportion: 200 milliliters of water - 1 teaspoon of yellow Egyptian tea. If desired, the volume of water can be increased to 250 milliliters. Helba seeds are poured into water and boiled for 8 minutes. The drink can then be enjoyed.
Mandatory rule: pre-soak helba seeds for three hours in cold water. The main task is the release of a large number of useful components. It is desirable to eat seeds, because they contain valuable dietary fiber. Pre-brewing is the basis for preparing a delicious and healing drink.
Most often, three methods are used, each of which deserves attention:
The pride of the Egyptians is not only the pyramids, but also the local yellow tea. The inhabitants of the country are very fond of their traditional drink and treat tourists with pleasure. Some people unknowingly confuse this tea with a yellow Chinese drink. However, Chinese and Egyptian teas are completely different products.
Egyptian tea is grown, as the name implies, in Egypt. At its core, this is not exactly tea, since the drink is made from the seeds of a plant called fenugreek hay.
Outwardly, they do not resemble dry leaves, but rather, cereals. Such tea has alternative names: chaman, camel grass, helba, shamballa, etc.
Despite the differences between the Egyptian and Chinese drinks (the latter is considered natural tea because it is made from tea leaves), both of these products have impressive properties.
Actually, Egyptian tea is represented by only one type - the fenugreek brewed in a special way.
Varieties of Chinese golden tea with a small degree of fermentation are more extensive and depend on the quality of the drink.
Both varieties are of high quality. To create such teas, only the buds of the plant are collected, and in some cases - with the first leaf that appears, if it is not damaged.
In the process of manufacturing these varieties, the buds of the plant are used with 2 - 3, and sometimes with five leaves that have appeared.
When wondering how to brew yellow tea, you will be somewhat puzzled by the answer received, because this process is slightly different from the traditional one.
When considering the preparation of a golden Egyptian drink, it should be borne in mind that it is not considered a full-fledged tea, and therefore it is also brewed in a not quite typical way. Rather, this tea is boiled and a rich decoction is drunk as a result.
The Chinese yellow drink requires a somewhat more ceremonial handling. The Chinese themselves recommend following a few tips that guarantee a great drink as a result:
Yellow tea can be a great help for those who want to lose weight and improve their figure.
Yellow tea is also effective in increasing lactation. At the same time, both Shambhala grains and its leaves will become useful.
Yellow tea is a drink with a rich taste and strong aroma. But this product can bring not only benefits, but also possible harm.
The term "yellow tea" often hides two drinks that came from different parts of the world - Egypt and China. A drink originally from the Land of the Pyramids was created on the basis of fenugreek. Chinese yellow tea is obtained by collecting and preparing tea leaves. Both types of tea are tasty and beneficial for the human body. Fenugreek, however, is more "functional", as it is suitable even for nursing mothers seeking to increase lactation. The minimum number of contraindications for use and the exceptional benefits of such a product make golden tea an excellent tool for improving health.
In the world, in addition to black, green and red tea, many other exotic varieties are brewed and drunk with pleasure. One of the most extravagant is the yellow type of tea from Egypt. It produces an unusual in appearance, original in taste and a healthy drink. What are its benefits and harms?
Inhabitants of Europe out of habit call the dried upper leaves of the tea bush tea. The Egyptian variety of tea leaves is unique in that it uses the seeds of a plant from the legume family - hay fenugreek. It is also referred to as:
The properties of fenugreek beneficial to humans have been known since time immemorial. They were studied by ancient Chinese healers, and various parts of the plant were used in their medical practice by Avicenna and Hippocrates.
Mass planting and cultivation of "camel grass" is carried out not only in Egypt and Asian countries (China, India). The conditions of the Central European and South American climate are also suitable for this unpretentious plant.
Abish stems reach 70 cm in height. During the ripening period, the grass releases long pods (about 100 mm), inside which are seeds (beans). Both inflorescences and fruits, as well as the grassy part (leaves and stem) have a characteristic aroma.
The value of medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements is determined by the content of useful substances in them. Fenugreek fruits are rich in:
It is important to know. Exposure to high temperature during brewing does not reduce the value of Egyptian tea. Useful substances pass from the fruit into the water and dissolve in it.
For those who follow the figure
1 serving (teaspoon) of seeds contains only 12 kcal. Shambhala is rich:
There is very little fat in fenugreek grains (3.4%). Therefore, Egyptian tea can be consumed 2-5 cups a day without fear of losing your figure.
The fruits of the goat shamrock have truly magical qualities:
Did you know that abish tea brewed with dates is an excellent remedy for anemia. The fruits of camel grass in milk help with male impotence. The addition of stevia will make fenugreek drink a delicious cure for joint diseases, arthritis, etc.).
Various parts of the helba (stems, leaves, inflorescences, beans) are used as:
Abish seeds are part of multi-component spices, such as suneli hops. Due to the high content of proteins and fast digestibility in the body, as well as the prevention of gas formation in the intestines, chaman beans are advised to beginner vegetarians and vegans.
Good to know. Helba has a unique property to lower cholesterol and remove it from the blood. This prevents the formation of blood clots and blockage of blood vessels. In addition, a drink brewed from camel grass improves metabolism.
Fenugreek is also actively used in dermatology. Almost all skin diseases (rashes, dermatitis, eczema) indicate malfunctions in the gallbladder and liver. This tea heals "from the inside", restoring the functions of the most important internal organs. As a result, the skin condition becomes much better.
Gruel from raw grated helba beans is one of the best wound healing remedies.
Used abisha beans left after brewing tea will be useful for cosmetic face and body care. From the fruits, mashed into a puree, you get an excellent hair mask with a strengthening and nourishing effect.
The semi-liquid slurry obtained from the beans remaining after making tea will become the basis for the “Nefertiti mask”. The skin is transformed, it becomes fresher, firmer and toned. You can add a couple of drops of any essential oil.
The resulting mixture is applied in an even layer on the cleansed skin of the face for 8-10 minutes, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips. After the allotted time, gently rinse with warm water, and then blot the skin with a towel and apply a light nourishing cream.
Our compatriots are accustomed to the standard way of brewing tea: pour boiling water over it and let it brew for 5-7 minutes. Proper preparation of chaman is a real ritual:
This is interesting. Properly cooked shamballa has a unique taste, with hints of nuts, chocolate and vanilla. Although those who try hilba for the first time, its taste often seems strange. Instead of traditional granulated sugar or refined sugar, it is better to use bee honey. If the tea is made with water, you can add a slice of lemon, a pinch of cinnamon or finely grated ginger on the tip of a spoon to the cup.
A remedy that for one person is a panacea for ailments, for another becomes a poison. "Cocked hat" can cause harm:
Sweet clover blue should be used with great care:
It is best to discuss the dosage of tea with your doctor.
Interesting fact. Regular and prolonged use of blue sweet clover tea leads to the fact that the whole body begins to “smell”, and sweating is noticeably reduced. The smell is generally pleasant, with a slight bitterness and a hint of walnuts. Most Egyptians smell the same way.
