Tea brewing is an art that is simple to perform but which also requires some care to do well. While essentially tea is brewed by adding boiling water to the dry leaf, the quantity of leaves, the temperature of the water and timing is of vital concern. For preparing different types of teas, different methods of preparations are used. But the most commonly used method is to make it in a pot. Here One teaspoon of tea is used per cup and one additional for the pot. Then boiling water is poured on it, allowing it to brew for 4 to 5 minutes in the covered pot. To capture the flavour best, the pot should be covered with a tea-cozy after adding water to the tea and placing the lid. Desired amount of milk and sugar can be added to each cup after pouring the steaming hot tea into it. It is essential to know about the exact method in order for your tea
to taste right. When brewing Green tea, make sure the water is not boiling
temperature, as this hot temperature will "cook" the leaves
and destroy the tea and its flavour. |
