How to make the best tea you will ever tasteA subject of great debate for centuries has been what is the best way to make tea. As a long time tea drinker here is my formula and how to make an excellent cup of tea.
Make sure you use fresh water if possible. Spring water is the best due to the fact that it is pure and does not have any additives such as fluoride or chlorine which usually affect the taste. If you plan on using tap water then let the tap water run until water is cold and fresh. The quality of your water is an essential part of the formula for perfect cup of tea.
-Using a teapot made of earthenware or China is preferable. When he spots made out of metals such as copper or enamel Silver there is an impact on the flavor of the water.
-Warm up the pot using a little bit of hot water.
-Make sure you add at least 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup of water you use. The best way for tea to infuse properly is to add loose tea in the teapot while it is boiling.
-Let the tea settle for a couple of minutes.
-Remove the leaves to avoid over brewing.
-The quality of the cup that you drink out of can affect the taste of the tea greatly, so choose wisely. Use good quality cups made out of China, this will definatley enhance your tea drinking experience. Wide shallow cups called the tea to cool quickly so I avoid them as much as possible.
-If you're going to add milk to your tea, it is best to pour the milk into the cup first because it causes a better distribution and mix quality. Some people argue that there should be added last, but tea is hotter at the surface so it heats up the milk causing it to taste a bit sour.
-Finally, drink your tea without adding sugar. I admit to being ia reformed sugary tea drinker, if you know what that means ;P. now I am passionately against the notion of adding sugar to tea. Sugar masks the taste of tea. Not only that but too much sugar is bad for your health. And what is the point of drinking the world's greatest health drink and ruining it with sugar. When I stopped adding sugar to my cup of tea it took some time to get used to, however now I wouldn't go back to adding sugar ever again.
And there you go the perfect cup of tea!
