Many of us think brewing black tea is simple and straightforward. However, to make your tea the center of attention at the gathering, there are a few important tips to keep in mind.
To enhance the color of your tea, place some tea leaves in the teapot and rinse them with cold water before brewing. Keep in mind that at this stage, the tea should only be rinsed, and avoid soaking it for too long.
Brewing tea, like cooking rice, has its own techniques. To improve the aroma and flavor of your drink, pour boiling water into the teapot in a way that fills it only halfway, leaving enough space for the steam to gather.
We often use spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger to enhance the aroma of our tea, placing some directly into the teapot. However, this is a common mistake, as adding spices can cause the tea's color to become cloudy. To ensure your tea has a delightful aroma, it’s better to add some cardamom or cinnamon to the water in the kettle. This method will give your tea a longer-lasting fragrance.
To enhance the color and flavor of your tea, it's recommended to place a thick cloth over the teapot. This trick helps the tea brew more effectively and results in a richer color.
Many of us want the flavor of our tea to remain consistent throughout the entire gathering. To ensure this, brew the tea in a way that keeps the tea leaves out of the teapot. You can use teapots with built-in strainers for this method.
If the tea has steeped for too long or is on the verge of boiling, you can prevent its overcooked taste by adding two sugar cubes.
If you want your tea to stay warm for a longer period, swirl some hot water in the glass before pouring the tea in to warm it up, and then pour the tea into the glass.
