The Best Way to brew tea
Hey there! Want to make the perfect cup of tea? It's actually super easy when you follow these steps:
- Start with fresh, cold water (tap is fine)
- Heat your water to the right temperature:
- Black tea: 200-212°F (nearly boiling)
- Green tea: 170-180°F (steaming but not boiling)
- White tea: 160-170°F (hot but not steaming much)
- Put your tea (loose leaf or tea bag) in a cup or teapot
- Pour the hot water over your tea
- Let it steep (don't rush!):
- Black tea: 3-5 minutes
- Green tea: 2-3 minutes
- White tea: 1-3 minutes
Pro tip: Don't squeeze your tea bag! It can make your tea taste bitter. 🫖
