1
Brewing the Tea
Boil water to the appropriate temperature for the type of tea you are preparing. Generally, black teas should use water just off the boil (around 200°F/93°C), while herbal teas can steep in boiling water.
2
Steeping
Add the tea leaves to a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for the recommended time: 3-5 minutes for black teas and 5-7 minutes for herbal teas.
3
Serving
Once steeped, pour the tea into a cup. You may add honey, lemon, or milk according to your taste preferences.
