7 Foods That Should Never Be Paired With Tea

Simran Rajpal 

Curd

According to Ayurveda, curd (yogurt) and tea are considered to have opposing properties in traditional Indian medicine.

Turmeric

Turmeric and tea both have health benefits individually, but some believe that combining them may decrease the absorption of curcumin.

Nuts

Nuts, which are high in iron, may have reduced iron absorption when consumed with tea due to the tannins present in tea.

Lemon

Adding lemon to certain teas can change their flavor profile and potentially increase bitterness.

Pakoras

Tea is often consumed as a digestive aid, while fried foods like pakoras made with gram flour can be heavy and oily.

Ice Cream

 Ice cream is a matter of taste preference, but the coldness and creaminess may not complement the hot tea experience.

Fish

While fish and tea are not inherently incompatible, some individuals may find the combination unappealing due to taste preferences or potential digestive discomfort.
