I love tea. I only drink tea and water, sometimes juice but not often.
I make tea for everyone at work. I have undisputed tea making skills. My colleagues are always trying to figure out my technique because they apparently can’t get it the same at home.
Fruit tea is not real tea in my book.
I like any strong black tea; Assam, Ceylon etc. Assam plus Earl Grey is really nice.
Generally started with a heated cup using some boiling water, which is then spilt away. Most times I use tea bags because I think loose leaves should be done in a pot. Bag goes in the cup with one sugar (not heaped). Water just off the boil goes in. Brew with stirring for about 3 minutes, not too long otherwise the tea will go bitter. Add milk (whole milk) very slowly whilst stirring. If you add it too quickly you lose the colour and strength of the tea.
I cant stand tea! But coffee i love, my favourite coffee to make is boiled milk added to coffee, and one sugar. Recently though, i just boil wate,r add it to coffee, 2 teaspoons of whitener and one sugar. :)
