When you would like to create a proper black tea, there are some basic steps in doing so. To begin, you will need to gather together the supplies and ingredients that you’ll need. While some people might like to add milk, a sliced lemon, or sugar, other people might only want a basic black tea.
The kettle should be filled with hot tap water and placed on the stove. While the tea leaves are being prepared, the kettle water should be warming. Also, if you would like to add milk to your tea, you might also want to start warming your milk as well. However, others might like to add the milk to their tea cold.
Some tea leaves come whole; this way people can grind the leaves down themselves when they’re ready to make tea. This results in a fresh cup of tea every time. People might also opt for a mortar and pestle to put the leaves into, so that they can be broken into leaf shards that are capable of brewing. Still, other tea leaves are already ground in the tea bag. Whatever type of black tea leaf preparation that the person chooses, it’s important that the leaves are fresh.
After the black tea leaves have been ground, you can then go ahead and add them to the tea kettle. By now, the tea kettle water should have warmed to the point where it needs to be at to brew the tea leaves. The leaves should be brewed according to the specific tea manufacturer’s instructions.
In most cases, this is anywhere from three to five minutes. Although, other teas might take as long as ten minutes to brew; a rule of thumb to remember is that the longer tea leaves are brewed for, the stronger the tea and the caffeine content will be.
After the tea has finished brewing for the specified amount of time, it can then be taken off the stove top and strained to remove the tea leaves from the finished brew. To keep the tea kettle warm, you can wrap it in a cloth to insulate the warmth in the kettle container.
To pour a refreshing cup of tea, simply pour yourself some black tea into your tea cup, and add milk, sugar, or a lemon wedge if you’d like. If desired, you might also want to cut yourself a piece of cake, or have a few oatmeal cookies with your black tea.
