Mastering Quick Tea Brewing Happiness!
Making the perfect cup of tea is easier than you think! Actually, the hardest part of the process is deciding which tea blend you want to drink at that very moment. (Confession: I usually solve that problem by just making two different cups of tea at the same time! That’s twice the delight in less than 10 minutes!
The Secret To A Perfect Cup: Where To Start
At the most basic level, all you need is a kettle, water, a mug and a tea bag.
The typical measurement is one tea bag to every 8 ounces of water. I mainly use loose tea, so I have my trusty tea spoon scoop on deck at all times! A good tea spoon should allow you to scoop out the perfect amount for one cup of tea. I take liberties with my leaf and water measurements, depending on the intensity of the taste that I want for that particular cup of tea. I tend to use a scoop and a half in about 11 ounces of water, for a typical mug of tea. This usually produces the perfect flavor of happiness for me!
