    Neem has been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antimalarial properties helping to ward off diseases, though it is not a replacement for traditional medical treatments. Neem tea is typically made from dried whole or ground leaves, steeped in hot water for 5-10 minutes and often consumed for its medicinal properties. Neem tea is naturally caffeine-free but can be blended with black or green teas, and bitterness is balanced by adding spices, honey, or sugar. Neem leaves and tea should be stored properly and consuming large amounts over long periods is not recommended without consulting a doctor due to lack of studies on effects.

    Fighting Disease

    In several studies, neem has been shown to have antibacterial, antifungal, and
    antimalarial properties, helping to ward off harmful diseases.2 Note that neem is
    not a replacement for traditional medical treatments.

    Uses
    Neem tea can be made from the fresh leaves but is more commonly made from
    dried whole or ground leaves. The tea is consumed at any time of day and is often
    drunk for medicinal properties.

    How to Drink Neem Tea


    Neem tea is typically served hot. About 1 teaspoon should be used per 1 cup of
    200-degree water (simmering but not boiling) and steeped for 5 to 10 minutes. It
    can also be chilled and served cold.

    Neem tea leaves are frequently blended with black or green tea or herbs and
    spices like cinnamon. Blending the tea with sweet and spicy flavors helps to
    balance the bitterness of the leaf. You can make your own blend at home, adding
    ingredients like cardamom, fennel, and/or orange peel, or using a ratio of 1 part
    neem tea to 1 part black, green, or rooibos tea. Counterbalance the bitterness by
    adding honey or sugar and lemon juice to freshly brewed neem tea.

    Neem leaves are also sold as a fine powder. A small amount of powder should be
    stirred into warm or cool water and mixed well before consuming it. Consult the
    packaging for the recommended dosage.

    Caffeine Content in Neem Tea


    Neem tea is made from the leaves of the neem tree, making it an herbal tea and
    naturally caffeine free. Some neem tea blends include black or green tea, which
    will add caffeine to the drink. Neem tea is low in acidity but is extremely bitter.

    Buying and Storing


    Neem tea can be found in health food stores, organic specialty stores, Indian and
    Southeast Asian markets, and online. The tea should be stored in an airtight
    container in a dry, dark, cool place. While neem leaves will not go bad, they will
    eventually go stale. We recommend using your neem tea within six months of
    purchase.

    Side Effects
    Using neem tea is not advised for pregnant women, lactating women, couples
    looking to conceive, children, people taking lithium, those with autoimmune
    disorders or diabetes, organ transplants, or for someone with surgery scheduled
    within two weeks.

    The effects of consuming high doses of neem over a long period of time are not
    well studied and therefore not recommended. If you are on medications that are
    prone to interactions, consult your doctor before consuming neem tea.
