How to Brew Loose Leaf Tea
Ditch the tea bag and brew an even better cup of tea. It's easier than you might think!
Equipment
- Tea infuser
- Pot or Kettle (to heat water)
- Mug or Pot (for drinking or serving)
Materials
Instructions
- Set water to boil.
- Measure out your tea leaves -- a good starting point is 1 teaspoon of tea per 6 oz cup of water.
- Add the tea to your infuser. Place infuser basket or tea ball in the pot or mug you wish to steep the tea in.
- Once the water is boiling (or at your desired temperature), pour it over the infuser in your mug or pot.
- Set a timer so you don't over-steep. It can vary based on the type of tea and your personal preferences, but 3-4 minutes should work well for most varieties.
- Once time is up, remove the infuser and serve the tea promptly.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Adjust things such as the amount of tea used, the temperature of your water, and steeping time as desired to brew your perfect cup.
