@UpliftThrone76 10 ай бұрын

As someone who's ability to taste and smell are not fully functioning (I have been noseblind since I was a wee babe), I overbrew my tea, and I hate milk in my tea. If I want anything besides "mm yes hot water" it needs to be strong. If I'm feeling deluxe. I'll make cocoa tea, by brewing my tea like normal and then adding hot cocoa mix to it and stirring that in. It gives me this earthy, rich chocolate taste, but the texture is still not all that creamy, and it goes down really well. I definitely recommend.

@ThiefOfADHD Жыл бұрын

Fun info for Chinese traditional tea: For good luck, when making the tea pot and cups, the leftover clay was used to make a tea pet, which you pour some tea on as a sign of good luck. There's color changing ones too to test the temperature of your tea, but it is a long term tradition. Plus, some ceramics will soak the scent of the tea (as mentioned by Matpat during the cup phase), so using the same tea regularly will cause your tea pet to smell delightful

@sihollett Жыл бұрын

Many Brits still pour milk in first *when using a teapot* (and only then) as it doesn't matter which way around they are for combining milk and brewed tea. Milk-first is the posh way of doing it - suggesting the use of expensive fine china - and so is considered in certain quarters to be the way to do it. The reason milk-first *if brewing in the cup* is bad is that the tea needs the excitement in the boiling water to agitate the leaves. Cooling the water down reduces that, likewise using previously-boiled water or a microwave to boil it (as neither have as much bubbling as fresh water boiled in a kettle) - the effect is similar to having a flat teabag rather than a 3d one. Also the temperature of the brewing water affects the brew - so cooling it down is doubly bad.

@jameschu8376 Жыл бұрын

Yeah milk first was to protect the old China from cracking when you poured boiling water in when you brewed the tea from loose leaves, it doesn't work with modern tea bags in fact it blocks up the pores in the bags and you end up with watery milk...

Most people brew it like that now anyway. The amount of tea in a bag has to be higher to account for different cup sizes. The milk added before lowers the brewing temperature, so you will taste less bitter notes, but it may curdle the milk, especially straight from the kettle (just boiled).

Also 3-4 cups of tea is my average amount to consume when im on a school day and spend 7-8 hours a day out of the house and when im in all day its more like 6-7 cups.
