After a hard day of home staging, or selling real estate or counting up the green stuff - what could be more relaxing than a nice cup of tea? OK, that was a rhetorical question and I'm not really expecting you to answer or maybe I'm hoping you won't. With a new teashop opening up in the Greater Brainerd Lakes area, I thought maybe someone would like a tea making lesson. Our local teashop owner suggests that the trick is in the making. She should know.
- Always use cold tap water and boil water on the stove instead of using the microwave to heat the water
- Timing, temperature and measurements are the key ingredients for a good cup of tea
- Learn to read and follow the instructions on the package
- Never use boiling water on green tea or white tea as the leaves are processed differently than black tea and are of a more delicate nature
- Do not let the tea steep, or soak in the water for too long as it will get bitter
- Make sure to use an infuser or filter large enough for the tea leaves to expand in order to enjoy the full benefit and flavor of the tea.
Wow, I suppose those tea bags of Constant Comment I use are out!
Oh well, I'm off to Carribou for a cup of coffee , care to join me?
