Seven steps to make black tea

1. Fresh cold water is poured into the boiling kettle to boil: because the water from the tap is full of air, the fragrance of black tea can be fully guided out, and the overnight water, the second boiling water or the hot water in the thermos bottle are not suitable for brewing black tea.

2. Pour boiling water into the teapot and warm the cup in a gradual way to avoid too big change of water temperature: generally, the shape of teapot has a squat round body, which allows the tea to fully extend and dance when brewing.

3. Carefully consider the amount of tea: for brewing strong tea, each person should use 1 teaspoon (about 2.5G of tea), but if you want to make good black tea, it is recommended to brew 2 cups of black tea leaves (about 5g), which can give full play to the original flavor of black tea and enjoy the pleasure of cup renewal.

4. Pour boiling water into the pot to make tea: about 30 seconds after the water begins to boil, when the water flowers form a circle the size of a dollar coin, it's the best way to make black tea.

5. Wait for the right brewing time: because rapid brewing can't completely release the fragrance of tea. In general, professional tea cans will professionally mark the strength of tea, which is related to the brewing time of tea. For example: the concentration is divided into 1-4 levels, 1 is the weakest, 4 is the strongest), and the brewing time is from 2 minutes to 3.5 minutes, successively decreasing.

6. Pour the tea soup made in the pot into your favorite cup: Although the cup has various shapes, generally speaking, it belongs to a shallow bottom and a wide cup mouth, because in this way, the tea drinkers can not only enjoy the fragrance of black tea, but also enjoy its charming color.

7. Add proper amount of sugar or milk according to your taste: if you choose to drink pure black tea, you should focus on the original color and taste of black tea. The tea used for milk tea generally has a heavier taste and some astringency, but after adding strong milk, the astringency will be reduced and the taste will become richer.
