Loose leaf tea

  • tap water through a filter (bottled doesn’t have enough minerals for the flavor to stick to)

  • heat to temp for your tea (my favorite jasmine is 140-150° F while black tea is usually around 200°)

  • steep till you get the flavor you desire then remove the tea

  • darker teas need a “rinse” with hot water before brewing
