You will need a few basic things - tea leaves, tea strainer, tea cups and a kettle
Well, one of the most essential ingredients is water! Make sure you start boiling cold water or room temperature water. Also, as far as possible, use soft water because hard water is not very healthy and it also tends to leave behind a greasy film on the tea which is not very appealing
Tea brewing is not like baking where exact quantities and measurements are necessary but it is said that for every small tea cup, you need about a teaspoon of tea leaves. Remember, they expand when the water starts boiling
It is also essential to remember that water needs to be fresh to bring out the flavors of the tea. Make sure it comes to a proper boil before you take the kettle out
Different teas need different temperatures so as to fully extract flavor. For e.g. - white and black teas need nearly 200 F but green tea needs only 180 F
Make sure the tea leaves are seeped in another container and not the kettle in which the water was boiled
As it is said, brewing tea is also an art. So try a couple of times and it will surely come to you!
