Prefect Pot Of Tea
The anticipation of sipping your freshly brewed tea will make your taste buds go wild for a perfect teapot. Great tea depends on the water you use to make it. You can use a coffee machine, which will give you the right temperature for making tea. Just under the boiling point at 206°F. Never boil water and pour it over loose-leaf tea or tea bags. It will burn the tea leaves and make a bitter-tasting tea! Tea bags will not give you the full maximum flavor. So, keep that in mind. Pour a small amount of hot water into a teapot and swish it around. Then, discard the water. Warming up the teapot allows the tea to unfurl, relax, and deliver the maximum flavor. It also helps to keep the tea warm without dropping the temperature. Using this method, you are bound to get a perfect teapot. So, and enjoy your tea with some of your favorite savories this will top off a relaxing time you so deserve.
