You cannot be a tea-lover, and your sense of use of proper use of English requires lot of improvement as seen from your query.



You take a pan and boil water in it measured by cups (each cup is supposed to be 200 ml.) and when water is boiled, add one tsp of tea leaves for every cup and one for the kettle, so if you are making 6 cups, you need to add 7 tsps. of tea leaves. Immediately, you switch off fire, and cover the pan with a lid, and no more boiling. Allow it for 2 minutes then pour it in cups and add hot milk and sugar as per taste. The drink that you will get will have a distinct flavour than the concoction you get everywhere these days in the name of tea. .

Hi,

Tea is considered as a health and vitality drink and there are various methods followed to make a good cup of tea. Quality and taste of tea depends upon the following factors:

- Quality of water used

- Quality of milk used

- Quality of tea used.

Tea making is an art and science. Gardens manufacture tea in two methods - CTC and Orthodox. Again it is classified as dust tea and leaf tea. South Indians mostly like dust tea since it gives a strong cup of tea whereas North Indians and overseas users prefer Leaf tea for its flavour and colour.

Now making a cup of tea: Boil the water upto boiling point.

Add a teaspoon of dust tea (1.5 teaspoon if it is Leaf) stir and remove from fire. Keep it for 2-3 minutes. Take a cup. If it is an earthen pot, the taste is fantastic! Take milk according to your requirement. Strain the boiled tea to the cup. Tea without sugar is the best. If you want taste, add little sugar and stir it properly. After a proper mix, you can drink a good cup of tea and relax. The enzymes in tea revitalise the user.

Keep on experimenting with different mixes till you get the best cup of your choice!

There are many methods to make teas. The easiest is using bags.



Take a cup of boiling water drop one or two tea bags ( according to your taste) in that allow it for 5 minutes. take out the bags. Add sugar/ milk if you want. Drink.



The second method is boil water with equal amount of milk ( if you want milk otherwise only water) .When it boils add tea powder/leaves. Take it out of the stove. Filter and add sugar and drink.

i don't rely on the pot cuz the measurement can vary -- what i do is boil water, put one tea bag in each mug [try tetley british blend] put boiling water halfway in the mug, then press the bag with a teaspoon till the water gets colored -- add the rest of the water and throw away the tea bag otherwise the color will darken more than ur liking, and the taste becomes bad

That is not true.



The recipe for herbal tea is take a cup and fill with water then microwave for 2 minutes then take out add one tea bag but do not throw tea bag away ( one lasts for 2-3 days) soak for 30 seconds ,then add fresh mint if have ( it is very nice with tea) then enjoy your herbal tea it is also good for health.

HOW TO PREPARE TEA



Teas are traditionally steeped in hot water. Growers do steep tea in cold water as well , which is lately also a trend for the public at large.



The longer tea is steeped in water, the bitter the taste for most teas. As general rule you can consider the following rule (differences apply according your personal preferences)



PREPARATIONS IN HOT WATER



General rule:

- avoid using boiling water, as it can alter some ingredients

- tea can be steeped 3 to 4 times



White Tea (hardly fermented tea):

3-4 minutes in 60°C water (140 F)



Green Teas (slight fermentation):

2-3 minutes in 70°C (158F)



Oolong Tea (partially oxidized tea):

2-3 minutes in 80°C (176F)



Black or Red Teas (highly oxidized tea):

3-4 minutes in 90°C (194F)

A teabag is good for 1-2 cups of water.

You're gonna have to use trial and error, depending on the strength of the tea you like.

the best and easiest way is to take a cup of milk add half a cup of water add a tea spoon of tea dust [ i prefer Brooke bond red label] . heat the milk with tea dust added to boil. sieve and add sugar and enjoy. you can add a few cardamom dust for flavor or ginger for taste. try and select. keep alternating the ginger or cardamom to break the monotony
