Methods of making Tea
To make a good tea, start with fresh, filtered water and heat it to the right temperature for your tea type. Use the appropriate amount of loose leaves or tea bags, and steep for the recommended time. For added flavor, consider infusing herbs, spices, or citrus.
1. Boil Fresh Water
Start by bringing filtered water to a rolling boil.
2. Cool Slightly
Let the water cool for 1-2 minutes to reach 85-90°C (185-195°F).
3. Warm the Teapot
Pour a little hot water into the teapot to warm it, then discard the water.
4. Measure Tea Leaves
Add 1 teaspoon of Darjeeling tea leaves per cup into the teapot.
5. Steep
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and steep for 3-5 minutes.
6. Strain & Serve
Strain the tea into cups, and enjoy it plain or with lemon or honey.
