Method for producing of grass tea / 2273146
Method involves treating mixture of dog rose fruits and hibiscus flowers with flow of non-polar gas such as nitrous oxide or argon at above-critical temperature and pressure parameters, said gas circulating through closed circuit at velocity rate exceeding hydraulic size of mixture particles for 25-30 min.

Method for making tea / 2259757
The present innovation deals with ways to prepare drinks, in particular, to the ways to make tea and could be applied in tea saloons, tea clubs and in homes, as well. The method deals with water extracting tea leaves in a teapot supplied with a cap. Water should be heated in the teapot with closed cap till the moment of acoustic sounds accompanied with appearance of vapor bubbles. Then about 0.06 ÷ 0.15 water volume should be poured out of the teapot into additional reservoir to heat the rest water volume up to 94 ÷ 99 C. After that one should pour water out of additional reservoir into teapot to heat the whole water volume up to 94 ÷ 99 C to start rotate the teapot to obtain a crater to introduce tea leaves into it. As a result, organoleptic properties of prepared tea should be improved by keeping and enhancing the aroma of prepared tea, also, rational usage of initial raw material - tea leaves - should be increased due to water saturation with oxygen.

Method for making tea / 2259756
The present innovation deals with ways to prepare drinks, in particular, to the ways to make tea and could be applied in tea saloons, tea clubs and in homes, as well. The method deals with water extracting tea leaves in a teapot supplied with a cap due to brewing. Before water extraction of tea leaves a teapot should be heated due to filling it with water at 94 ÷ 99 C, which should be poured out of the teapot into additional reservoir and then , at least, into one cup and then again into additional reservoir. Water should be kept in the teapot, additional reservoir and in cups for 10 ÷ 50 sec. Extraction of tea leaves in the teapot should be performed with water at 94 ÷ 99 C, extract's brewing should be performed for 5 sec ÷ 5 min, moreover, during this process one should pour the teapot closed with a cap with water out of additional reservoir. As a result, organoleptic properties of the made tea are improved along with keeping and enhancing its aroma, also, rational usage of initial raw material - tea leaves - should be increased due to decreased heat losses.
