Black tea fungus, also known as "Haibao" and "Weibao", is a substance that is beneficial to human body after fermentation with sugar, tea and water. Its acidity inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, which is very beneficial to human health, especially for atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer, and also has the effects of regulating blood pressure, improving sleep and preventing and treating various diseases.
Cultivation method:
(1) Production of culture solution: a. Weighing tea, clean water and white sugar in proportion; B, the tea leaves are wrapped in white gauze cloth; C, putting water in aluminum pot or boiling a steel cauldron for sterilization; D, put the tea bag in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and take it out; E, adding white sugar to dissolve; F, cooling the tea water from the fire to below 35 degrees.
(2) Inoculation culture: culture in a sterilized large-mouthed glass bottle or porcelain jar, add a proper amount of mother liquor to wash the inner wall, then add the good mother liquor and membrane to the culture bottle, add the cool culture solution to the culture bottle, and seal it with gauze to prevent insects and dust. Put the culture bottle in a place where there is no direct sunlight, and it will ferment quickly at high temperature and slowly at low temperature, usually at 30-35 degrees for a week, and a milky fresh film will form on the surface of the bacteria liquid, and the culture liquid will be fermented into sweet and sour black tea bacteria liquid, which can be drunk. Don't finish drinking the black tea fungus liquid, and you can continue to cultivate the drink liquid as above, and the cycle is endless. The ratio of raw materials for cultivating black tea fungus is black tea: sugar: water = 0.2: 5: 200.
