Second only to water, tea has been a popular beverage for thousands of years. Served hot or iced, tea can start the day, bring refreshment during a hot afternoon, be part of a light snack or bring a busy day to a relaxing close. Although black tea has been a popular favorite in the West for centuries, other varieties such as green tea and South African rooibos or red tea have recently made inroads in tea houses, coffee shops and supermarkets worldwide. A blend of red and green teas can be a tasty treat served hot or cold.
Instructions
Preparation
1- Bring five to six cups of water to a boil in your teakettle.
2- Pour approximately 1/4 cup boiling water into your teapot . Slosh it around to preheat your teapot.
3- Pour out the boiling water.
4- Add your your tea one teaspoon at a time. The rule of thumb is one spoon for me, one spoon for you, one for the pot and one for company. For this recipe, use two spoons of green tea and two of red tea.
5- Pour the remaining hot but not boiling water into your teapot until it is 3/4 full. If the water is too hot, it will scorch the tea leaves and ruin the flavor.
