Tea is one of the most popular drinks. It is a great addition to a friendly get-together or a cold evening alone.
But to really enjoy such a drink, it is important to brew it correctly. In this case, you should follow a few simple rules that will make the taste and aroma of tea many times better.
Water
It shouldn't be harsh.
Filtered and bottled water are suitable.
There is no need to pour boiling water over the tea leaves. The water should be about 90-95 degrees. It is enough to just wait a minute or two after the kettle boils, and then proceed to preparing the drink.
Kettle
The container in which the tea is brewed should be of the appropriate size and shape so that the leaves can sit freely. You should not choose teapots with a tight built-in strainer.
You should also pay attention to the material of the dishes.
It is believed that ceramic and porous clay products are better suited for white and green tea.
The brewing process
You should not immediately drink a drink that has just been prepared.
The tea needs time to steep so that its flavor and aroma can be better revealed.
It is enough to wait up to five minutes, and then you can pour the drink into cups.
