Answer 7

well a good brand tea bag is good but you can still make a nice cup with a cheap brand.

how i make it, i put the tea bag in the cup and pour the hot water from about 6inchs above the cup onto the tea bag, so it beats out the tea leaves flavor then i leave it to stand while i get the milk and sugar out, then i stir the bag a few times when am done i remove the bag and use a second spoon, to press the bag then i add the sugar then the milk.

I make the best tea in my work so i somehow received the title of tea boy at work, but making a nice brew is a mystery, some can do it and some cant but i think its all about beating the bag to release the flavor myself

Tea is kinda like oatmeal. Simple ingredients, simple process, but the end results is a function of personal taste and personal technique.

Bring water to a boil, pour (single cup) over tea bag in cup and let steep (brew) for maybe 3-5 minutes and enjoy with personal favorites like milk, lemon, sugar etc.

If you are brewing larger amounts of tea there are recipes for Sun Tea (simple) and you can find them on the internet.

There are as many different types of tea as their are tea in China (I know, BAD joke) and you can have a blast trying all of them for best taste and desirability.

Cheers!

I use Masala Tea which is an Indian tea and it is a bit spicy (mixed with ginger and cloves), helps increase your blood flow :) so for every cup of tea you add 11/2 ts of this tea which you can buy at an any Indian store. If you're planning to serve 4 cups of tea you can add 3 ts. Let it boil for 5 minutes, I let it sit for 10 minutes, it gives you the strong taste. When the tea is ready add a 2 tbs of condensed milk, I get carnation, and that's it. Hope you like it.

I have other recipes for chai, if you're interested I would be happy to write them for you.

Ingredients (serving 4 cups):

3 ts Masala Tea

3/4 water medium sized kettle

2 tbs carnation condensed milk (in the serving cup)

Answer 10

buy green tea leaves, or quality tea leaves which you can easily find in the supermarket or tea shop, pour hot boiling water into you tea kettle and leave it for 5 minutes.

While you wait, pour hot water into your tea cup to heat the glass and remove the hot water before you pour your tea into the cup. Drink it when its warm not hot.

I prefer to have a clay pot kind of kettle and those clay pot kind of  tea cup... they just add another interesting aroma to the tea.

The type of green tea that i like are the ones that is really young green tea leaves so when after i drink it, i can eat the tea leaves... its healtier i guess..

Good Luck!
