A lid for a beverage container for holding a decoction beverage, preferably a disposable tea container with a base plate and a covering arranged at a distance from the base plate in which case between the base plate and the covering a holding space bounded on the sides by a surrounding side wall is formed, a first opening being provided in the base plate through which a decoction unit holding decoction materials can be guided and a second opening smaller than the first opening being formed in the covering or in the region of the covering through which a section of the decoction unit can be guided, the holding space being of dimensions such as to hold at least part of the decoction unit. This lid is especially suitable for covering beverage containers in which decoction beverages, especially for “sale on the street” are to be prepared. The decoction unit may be used without having to remove the lid from the beverage container.

The invention claimed is: 1. A lid for a beverage container for holding a decoction beverage, for a disposable tea container; said lid comprising: a base plate; a cover arranged at a distance from the base plate; and wherein the cover is arranged sloping at an acute angle to the base plate; a holding space being formed between the base plate and the cover and bounded by a circumferential side wall; wherein the side wall includes a circumferential clamping edge adapted to engage a rim of a beverage container and oriented so that when the rim of the beverage container is engaged thereby, the base plate is disposed intermediate the beverage container and the cover; a first opening being provided in the base plate through which a decoction unit containing a decoction material can be guided; and a second opening smaller than the first opening being formed in one of the cover and between the cover and the side wall, through which a section of the decoction unit can be guided, said holding space being of such dimensions as to hold at least part of the decoction unit. 2. The lid as in claim 1, further comprising at least one guiding surface slanted with respect to the base plate for guiding a section of a handle of the decoction unit. 3. The lid as in claim 2, wherein an acute angle enclosed between the base plate and the guiding surface is larger than the acute angle between the base plate and the cover. 4. In combination: a lid for a beverage container for holding a decoction beverage, said lid comprising: a base plate; a cover arranged at a distance from the base plate; wherein the cover is arranged sloping at an acute angle to the base plate; a holding space being formed between the base plate and the cover and bounded by a circumferential side wall, wherein the side wall includes a clamping edge adapted to engage a rim of a beverage container and oriented so that when the rim of the beverage container is engaged thereby, the base plate is disposed intermediate the beverage container and the cover; a first opening being provided in the base plate; a second opening smaller than the first opening being formed in one of the cover and between the cover and the side wall; and a decoction unit with a pouch containing tea leaves, arranged in the lid, penetrating the base plate through the first opening, with a gripping section guided out of the holding space through the second opening. 5. The combination as in claim 4, wherein the lid further comprises at least one guiding surface slanted with respect to the base plate for guiding a section of a handle of the decoction unit. 6. The combination as in claim 5, wherein an acute angle enclosed between the base plate and the guiding surface of the lid is larger than the acute angle between the base plate and the cover. 7. The lid as in claim 1, wherein the second opening is formed as a slit. 8. The lid as in claim 1, wherein when viewed in cross-section, the first opening in the base plate is arranged approximately in the center and the second opening is offset toward one edge of the cover relative to the first opening in one of the cover and the region of side wall proximate the cover; and wherein in a region lying diametrically opposite the second opening, the base plate has a rest for a part of a handle of the decoction unit. 9. The lid as in claim 1, further comprising a drinking opening in an edge region which creates, when the lid is seated on the beverage container, a connection to the inner space of the beverage container. 10. The lid as in claim 9, wherein the drinking opening is arranged diametrically opposite the second opening. 11. The lid as defined in claim 1, wherein the smaller second opening comprises a slit that is formed between the cover and the side wall. 12. The combination as defined in claim 4, further comprising a drinking opening being provided in an upper edge of the lid, where the drinking opening is not in fluid communication with the holding space. 13. A lid for a beverage container for holding a decoction beverage; said lid comprising: a base plate; a cover arranged at a distance from the base plate; and wherein the cover is arranged sloping at an acute angle to the base plate; a holding space being formed between the base plate and the cover and bounded by a circumferential side wall; a first opening into the holding space being provided in the base plate and through which a decoction unit containing a decoction material can be guided; and a second opening into the holding space being provided in one of the cover and between the cover and side wall, said second opening being smaller than the first opening and through which a section of the decoction unit can be guided, said holding space being of such dimensions as to hold at least part of the decoction unit; and a drinking opening being provided in an upper edge of the lid, where the drinking opening is not in fluid communication with the holding space. 14. The lid as in claim 13, further comprising at least one guiding surface slanted with respect to the base plate for guiding a section of a handle of the decoction unit. 15. The lid as in claim 14, wherein an acute angle enclosed between the base plate and the guiding surface is larger than the acute angle between the base plate and the cover. 16. The lid as defined in claim 13, wherein the smaller second opening comprises a slit that is formed between the cover and the side wall. 17. A method of brewing and drinking a decoction beverage comprising: providing a disposable beverage container that includes an interior chamber suitable for holding a quantity of liquid therein; said container having a circumferential rim; providing a detachable lid for engagement with the container; said lid including a base plate; a cover arranged at a distance from the base plate and sloping at an acute angle relative thereto; a holding space formed between the base plate and the cover and bounded by a circumferential side wall, where the side wall includes a circumferential clamping edge complementary to the rim of the container; and wherein the lid further includes a first opening into the holding space provided in the base plate; a second opening into the holding space provided in one of the cover, and between the cover and side wall, where said second opening is smaller than the first opening; and a drinking opening provided in an upper edge of the lid, where the drinking opening is not in fluid communication with the holding space; inserting a tab of a decoction unit holding a decoction material through the first opening, through the holding space and at least partially through the second opening; pulling the tab outwardly from the second opening to a degree sufficient to cause at least a portion of the decoction unit to extend outwardly from the holding space through the first opening and extend for a distance outwardly away from the base plate of the lid; pouring a quantity of liquid into the beverage container; engaging the clamping edge on the lid with the rim of the container; whereby the portion of the decoction unit is immersed in the liquid; allowing a desired quantity of time to elapse; pulling the tab further outwardly from the second opening such that the decoction unit is substantially drawn into the holding space in the lid and out of the liquid. 18. The method as defined in claim 17, further comprising the step of drinking the brewed decoction beverage through the drinking opening in the lid.
