Tips In Making Tea. .!
Follow below Tips for help In serving Tea (or) Making Tea:-
- If you prefer tea warm rather than hot, make the tea using boiling water and let it cool on its own or adding ice cubes. Using warm water will make a very weak tea.
- Putting the tea in the water before you boil it will produce stewed tea. It's a very strong tea usually drunk with a lot of sugar and is not to everyone's taste.
- Enjoy with cookies or tea cake.
- If you're making green tea, don't steep it for more than a minute or two. After a while, it becomes saturated and begins to get bitter.
- If you don't have an electric kettle and must use a microwave to boil water, it should take about 1-2 minutes on full power to reach boiling point. Let it cool before making tea.
- Using tea bags gives you many opportunities to change the taste of the beverage:
- If you have an espresso machine, try putting the tea bag in the espresso metal cup. Tea pours through the tea bag instantly (there's no need to wait).
- If you can handle the tea bag by its string, you can shake it inside the cup of hot tea after a few minutes. The tea is going to taste stronger or have a little more 'aroma'.
- Try varying the time that you allow the tea to steep before you add the milk.
- You can also heat water on the stove using a saucepan or an old-fashioned tea kettle. The tea kettle should make that familiar high pitched whistling noise when the water is boiling.
- By pouring the tea on top of the tea bags slowly, most of the water will run though the bag, reducing the time needed to brew.
- If you prefer using tea leaves, the tastes achieved by being patient might be infinite:
- Try combining different leaves of similar tastes, buying different brand or quality, (many famous English teas brands' names are the surname of the families that used to make the mixture).
- Grannies used to keep apple skins inside tea leaves' wooden boxes for a few months until the tea tasted like apples. Then, when poured, try adding some cinnamon.
- When brewing leaves instead of a bag, try boiling the water in a kettle, then pouring the water over tea leaves in a teapot. The teapot should then be drained and refilled with boiling water, effectively brewing the tea twice. This method of only drinking the second batch is a traditional Eastern method, and is used to make sure that any impurities are washed from the leaves.
- Familiarize yourself with the type of tea you are making, as most teas require water that is less than hot for brewing, a particular water to tea ratio, (especially when using powdered teas like Latté) or a require a certain brewing time.
- If you have not made a cup of tea before, put a tea towel or saucer underneath the cup in case you spill anything.
