How You Make Your Tea??

Here is my method for the perfect cup of tea, from the English tea ceremony or afternoon tea, as we call it. The Method Firstly empty the kettle and clean it of any scale. Let the tap run and fill the kettle from fast running water. Pour a little of the boiling water into the teapot to warm it then discard To the teapot, ceramic not metal, add one teaspoon of good tea, such as English Breakfast Blend to the pot for each cup and one additional measure. When the water has boiled pour into the pot from a height to ensure maximum aeration. Stir and cover the pot with a cosy, leave for 3 to 5 minutes. The room. Ensure you have a quiet room, with perhaps a slow ticking clock (Less than one tick a second) and birdsong. Arrange the curtains or blinds so that the room is darkish but if possible with some sunlight filtering through. Whilst you are waiting for the tea to brew you will begin to relax and unwind. Enjoying the tea. Serve the tea on a tray with a small jug of cold milk, heating milk changes its flavour. Also you will need some cups, saucers and tea spoons. The teaspoons are important even if, like me, you don't take sugar since they produce the correct noise against the cup and saucer. Pour the tea on from a height to ensure maximum aeration and add just a little milk and sugar if desired but only a very small amount. Beginners may take some 'McVities Rich tea biscuits or Digestives, a cucumber sandwich but should avoid items such as scones that may be enjoyed by those proficient in the art. You may talk about the weather but conversation should have long pauses for reflection. If done correctly this will produce perfect relaxation and clarity of mind. all the best urban

Well we boil the water and add tea powder into it, so it gets easily boiled and gives the smell.

The way that I make tea is as follows: 1) A ceramic pot is best. Warm the pot with a little boiling water from the kettle and then empty it. 2) Place the tea in the pot. One teaspoon for each person plus 'one for the pot'. 3) Boil fresh water until it is just below boiling point. The right temperature is when small bubbles just begin to rise steadily. Pour the water on the tea and cover the pot to keep it warm. 4) Different teas require a different length of time to stand (or 'brew' or 'mash' depending on what part of England you are from). The redder teas require less time - about 3 to 4 minutes - and the paler teas, such as Earl Grey, need longer - perhaps 5 minutes. The object is to extract the flavour without too much tannin. 5) There are two schools of thought about milk. Some assert that the cold milk should be put in the cup first while others say that it is more correct to add the milk after pouring the tea. I don't believe that there is any scientific evidence that one or the other is better: it is purely a matter of etiquette. 6) Sugar may either be added by the host/hostess who will ask 'One lump or two?' or it may be handed round with the tea.

actually tea is a very popular and traditional drink in my country and i use both methods and i don't feel any different in the taste.. but in my country (Palestine) we add sage to the boiling water and then the tea .. the sage add a unique aroma and taste to the tea and if you don't feel like tea with sage you should try tea with fresh mint its also teats great ..i am a tea person and i love tea i got it from my family ..every days in the evening we drink tea together and that's brings nice memories..i used to drink a mug a day i think its too much that's why i cut out on my drinking a little bit .. ooh my favorite brand of tea is Lipton and that's the only brand i drink ..and i prefer to drink it decaffeinated it doesn't effect the taste at all the caffeine .. is there any special way about how you take your tea ? or only the difference between putting the tea first or the water first ?

i made my tea by the following steps:i learned it from my mother. *i heat the tea powder and water first in the vessel,heat it when it becomes dark. *then i put some heated milk in that. *heat it for sometime and add the sugar ,and you will get a hot tea........

For me it's tea first and then hot water...and i add milk if it's a black tea...

Here we put tea with water to boil. We catch the leaves with that we'll make the tea and put with the water in a teapot and put if to boil. Then we strain this and put sugar.
