Tea

Steps:

Use cold tap water, as it is fresher, and let it run for a minute so that it will be aerated. If you like, you can use bottled water instead. Do not use warm tap water.
Boil water in kettle. If you are in a particularly cold climate, such as the North of England, add hot water to the tea pot until you are ready to pour in the boiling water, so that the tea pot will already be warm when you add the tea leaves.
Put 1 tablespoon of tea leaves in tea pot for 2 6-ounce servings.
Pour boiling water over tea leaves.
Allow to brew for 3 - 5 minutes, according to how much you will be cutting the tea with milk or cream. 5 minutes is only for tea that you intend to add a lot of milk or cream to. 3 minutes will allow the tea leaves to reach their optimum flavor, so it is considered the perfect brewing time.
Cover with a tea cozy in order to keep the heat in the pot.

MAKING A PERFECT CUP OR POT OF TEA

Making a Perfect Cup or Pot of Tea image

From "Victorian Tea Party". Afternoon and High tea were daily events in Victorian society in England and ladies tea parties were very popular. The table was beautifully set with the household's best bone china, beautifully prepared sandwiches and treats were served and tea was carefully brewed to ensure the very best flavor. In 1880, Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management was published - here is what she had to say about making tea the proper way: "There is very little art in making good tea; if the water is boiling, and there is no sparing of the fragrant leaf, the beverage will almost invariably be good. The old-fashioned plan of allowing a teaspoonful to each person, and one over, is still practised. Warm the teapot with boiling water; let it remain for two or three minutes for the vessel to become thoroughly hot, then pour it away. Put in the tea, pour in from 1/2 to 3/4 pint of boiling water, close the lid, and let it stand for the tea to draw from 5 to 10 minutes; then fill up the pot with water. The tea will be quite spoiled unless made with water that is actually 'boiling', as the leaves will not open, and the flavour not be extracted from them; the beverage will consequently be colourless and tasteless,-in fact, nothing but tepid water. Where there is a very large party to make tea for, it is a good plan to have two teapots instead of putting a large quantity of tea into one pot; the tea, besides, will go farther. When the infusion has been once completed, the addition of fresh tea adds very little to the strength; so, when more is required, have the pot emptied of the old leaves, scalded, and fresh tea made in the usual manner. Economists say that a few grains of carbonate of soda, added before the boiling water is poured on the tea, assist to draw out the goodness: if the water is very hard, perhaps it is a good plan, as the soda softens it; but care must be taken to use this ingredient sparingly, as it is liable to give the tea a soapy taste if added in too large a quantity. For mixed tea, the usual proportion is four spoonfuls of black to one of green; more of the latter when the flavour is very much liked; but strong green tea is highly pernicious, and should never be partaken of too freely."

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 teaspoons loose tea (1 teaspoon or 1 tea bag per person, plus one for the pot)
water
sugar cube
honey
lemon slice
milk

Steps:

Steps to Make Proper Cup of Tea:.
Bring enough water to fill your teapot twice to a full, rolling boil in a kettle.
Bring the teapot to the kettle and fill it with the boiling water. Put the kettle back on the stove and bring it back to a full boil.
Let the teapot sit with the hot water in it for a moment or two to warm it up, then pour out the water.
Add one teaspoon of tea per cup of tea to the teapot, plus one for the pot.
Add the boiling water to the teapot, put the lid on and cover the teapot with a tea cozy.
Let the tea steep for three to five minutes.
Pour the tea into each cup using a tea strainer.
Offer guests sugar cubes (or honey) and a slice of lemon or a small serving of milk.
Tips for Making the "Perfect" Tea.
* A teapot doesn't have to be expensive, but it should be made of china or earthenware.
* When you pour the water over the tea in the teapot, make sure it is at a full boil.
* If you are using very fragile bone china, add a bit of milk to the bottom of each tea cup before pouring to reduce the shock of the heat on the fine china. In that case, don't offer lemon slices!
* Do not use cream in tea, always use milk.
* Choose fermented teas, not Asian style green teas. Some popular teas are:.
o English Breakfast Tea (may be too strong for an afternoon tea).
o Earl Grey Tea, which is flavored with the rind of bergamots.
o Darjeeling Tea (full-bodied).
o Ceylon Tea (very popular).
o Lapsang Souchong Tea (distinctive, smoky flavor).
o Chamomile Tea (not caffeinated).

THE PERFECT POT AND CUP OF ENGLISH TEA!

The Perfect Pot and Cup of English Tea! image

The perfect pot of English tea leads to the perfect cup of English tea! I know this is NOT a recipe, but it is amazing how many people do not know how to make a PROPER POT of tea! We always make a pot of tea at home - even if there is only one of us here, we just use a smaller pot! I also prefer loose tea to tea-bags, but we do use good quality tea-bags as well. This is my method for making a perfect pot of tea, and therefore a perfect cuppa. This has been posted due to a request from my daughter, who obviously has FAR more sophisticated tastes as a university student than I did when I was one!! Plus, what can be nicer then baking a cake, inviting a couple of friends over and having a natter with a cuppa? It puts the world to rights! Quantities are listed for a pot of tea for two.....you can increase or decrease the amounts to suit.The following extract is from Mrs Beeton's book of Household Management printed in 1880; here she suggests the method for a "perfect" cup of tea, using loose tea of course and NOT tea bags! "There is very little art in making good tea; if the water is boiling, and there is no sparing of the fragrant leaf, the beverage will almost invariably be good. The old-fashioned plan of allowing a teaspoonful to each person, and one over, is still practised. Warm the teapot with boiling water; let it remain for two or three minutes for the vessel to become thoroughly hot, then pour it away. Put in the tea, pour in from 1/2 to 3/4 pint of boiling water, close the lid, and let it stand for the tea to draw from 5 to 10 minutes; then fill up the pot with water. The tea will be quite spoiled unless made with water that is actually 'boiling', as the leaves will not open, and the flavour not be extracted from them; the beverage will consequently be colourless and tasteless,-in fact, nothing but tepid water. Where there is a very large party to make tea for, it is a good plan to have two teapots instead of putting a large quantity of tea into one pot; the tea, besides, will go farther. When the infusion has been once completed, the addition of fresh tea adds very little to the strength; so, when more is required, have the pot emptied of the old leaves, scalded, and fresh tea made in the usual manner."

Yield 1 Pot of Tea for 2 people, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

3 teaspoons earl grey tea or 3 teaspoons ceylon tea
water
milk
granulated sugar
white sugar cube
lemon slice

Steps:

Only use freshly drawn cold water, ensure that kettles or water boilers are de-scaled regularly and that teapots are spotlessly clean.
Teapots should be warmed with hot water, which is then poured away.
Use the recommended number of tea bags or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup, AND one teaspoon for the pot. (For one person use a 10oz tea pot, for two persons a 20oz tea pot is recommended.).
Water should always be freshly boiled and boiling when added to tea.
Leave to brew for 3-5 minutes before serving. Stir before serving.
Pour a little milk into each cup before pouring the tea through a strainer if necessary, and sweeten with sugar as required.
You can omit the milk and serve the tea with lemon slices if you wish.
