Tea is an excellent drink that quenches thirst and warms.
But you can get a really great taste and aroma if you brew tea correctly. Many people make mistakes when doing this.
Let's look at the three most popular of them.
Water temperature
It should not be too high. You cannot pour boiling water over the tea leaves.
Therefore, experts recommend waiting 10 minutes after the kettle boils, and only then starting to prepare the drink.
For black tea, the water should be 90 degrees, for herbal tea – 70-80, and for green or white tea – 60-80 degrees.
Brewing time
You shouldn't drink tea right away.
The drink needs time to develop its flavor and aroma.
The optimal time for this is 3-5 minutes.
But it is worth noting that you should not let the tea steep for too long, otherwise it will start to taste bitter.
Dishes
If you want the drink to reveal its taste and aroma as much as possible when brewed, you need to choose the right utensils for this. As experts note, clay is best.
