How to brew tea bags correctly: it turns out you can't use boiling water
At first glance, there is nothing complicated about making tea. Especially if we are talking about a packaged product.
Everything seems simple. Just put the bag in a cup, pour boiling water over the bag and wait a few minutes.
In fact, this is the wrong way to prepare the popular drink.
Tea needs to be brewed differently.
The correct way to brew tea bags
Pouring water that has just come to a boil over a bag is a gross and, unfortunately, common mistake.
Too hot a liquid does not allow the tea leaves to reveal all their qualities.
First of all, it's about taste. Tea poured with boiling water rarely acquires a bright aroma.
The result is an almost tasteless liquid, which is difficult to enjoy.
To ensure that the drink still turns out tasty, you should use slightly cooled water when brewing.
It is important that the temperature of the liquid used does not exceed 80 degrees.
So, don't rush to pour water into your cup from a teapot that has just started whistling. Wait at least 2-3 minutes and only then pour the tea bag.
