Keeping yellow tea in water:
Yellow tea keep in water/strainer covered between 2-3 minutes, and after that it is strained. During these few minutes, antioxidants (catechins) come to the surface and have a better effect on the body when the tea is drunk.
Yellow tea should not be drunk with sugar (sweetened) because it way reduces its effectiveness. If you really must sweeten it, add honey or palm sugar, some kind of brown sugar or pure maple syrup to the tea.
