How to Make Proper Tea
Having a perfectly brewed cup of tea is one of life’s simplest pleasures. While it may seem like making tea with water and leaves is easy, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that your tea tastes the way it should.
Ingredients
- Tea leaves
- Hot water
Instructions
- Choose your favorite tea. Whether you prefer black, green, or herbal, selecting quality tea will make all the difference.
- Gather the necessary tools. You will need a warm teapot, a small strainer, and a cup.
- Fill the teapot with boiling water. Be careful not to overfill, as the water needs to circulate in the teapot.
- Once the water is boiling, use the strainer to add about one teaspoon of tea per cup into the warm teapot.
- Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on what type of tea you are using.
- Once the tea has finished steeping, pour it into the cup through the strainer.
- Enjoy your cup! If you need to, you can add honey, lemon, or milk to sweeten the tea.
Making tea can be a wonderfully calming process. Taking the time to select quality tea, gather the necessary tools, and steep the tea just right will allow you to have the perfect cup of tea. So take time out of your day to enjoy a cup the right way!
