Here are some of my go-to kitchen essentials for a hemochromatosis-friendly, iron-fighting kitchen.
Drinking more coffee and tea is one of the easiest ways to block iron absorption. So get yourself a good electric kettle for Sunday morning coffee, summer iced teas, and cozy winter nights with your favorite mug full of steaming tea. Features of this Oxo kettle include:
- temperature control
- will stay at any designated temperature for 30 minutes
- kettle body is made of borosilicate glass (I like the minimal use of plastic and metals that can leech toxins into water)
Super easy way to brew loose leaf tea. Just scoop the leaves into the infuser basket, set the basket into a mug full of freshly boiled water, wait a few minutes, and tea is served.
Buying bulk tea in loose leaf form tends to be more economical than buying bagged tea. Glass tea infusers allow you to watch as the tea steeps and strain out the leaves when it's finished.
This whisk is helpful for blending matcha tea so you don't have any clumps. Fun way to incorporate more matcha into your life!
