1. Boil Water
Start by boiling water. Allow it to boil for 5 – 7 minutes to ensure that it’s sufficiently hot for steeping.
2. Tea-to-Water Ratio:
For a robust and balanced flavor, use 1 pre-strained tea bag for every 6-8 ounces of water.
3. Steeping:
Place your tea bag directly into your cup, then pour the boiling water over it. The pre-strained bags are designed for convenience, allowing you to skip the straining process.
4. Steeping Time:
The ideal steeping time generally ranges from 10 – 15 minutes. This can vary depending on personal taste and the specific type of tea. Adjust the time as necessary for a stronger or milder brew.
5. Enjoy:
Once the tea has steeped to your desired strength, remove the tea bag, and your tea is ready to enjoy.
6. Storage:
Keep your tea bags in a cool place to preserve their freshness, as these natural products are perishable.
