How to make tea?

Yaaron plz tell me some good tip or even whole recipe if necessary, of making a really good tea. I know the basic way of making it obviously but mostly it what i make, does not taste good or doesnt taste like a good tea, you know what i mean. tukka lag giya tou achi bann gaiee, nahin tou guzaray waalee :frowning: -

You can suggest milk and tea brands too. I use Lipton.

PS: Just FYI, in my family including me, everyone loves strong tea.

Re: How to make tea?

real chai or desi chai with milk?

I drink 8-10 cups of herbal tea (i.e. kaawaah) every day.

Dooodh waalee chai baba... Desi chai.

Re: How to make tea?

I love strong tea too and I found Lipton to be very light. Tapal family danedar mix is good and so is Brooke Bond.

Well this is how I make my tea: boil 1/2 cup water with 1 tsp tea, add 1/2 cup milk and simmer for a few minutes on low to medium heat.

Re: How to make tea?

bring one cup of water to boil. add one cardamom (optional but gives a great aroma)
1 tsp of lipton tea when it boils.
give it 30 seconds for the colour to be nicely blended
now add 1/4th cup of milk or marzi se depending on how strong the tea you want

bring to boil again. lower flame and let it simmer for a minute and serve :)

you can also make proper dum wali tea too, if your family likes it !

Re: How to make tea?

@FairyTale ... i am only good at making tea (ok that's a little exaggerated) :P am learning to cook while juggling my studies and so much more :(

i genuinely feel for my poor hubby ;)

I start a pot with 1/2 water 1/2 milk. add 2 teabags for every cup of tea- and then add a little open leaf if i want. We use lipton and another brand, it's really strong and almost too overpowering so we dilute w/ lipton. Anyway, i'm sure danedar works similarly. Yeah so we just let it simmer on medium for 5 mins, really absorbing the flavors. if you want, you can add powdered ginger or cardamom- gives it that extra punch for masala chai!

and remember presentation can change boring chai to a luxurious indulgence.

Re: How to make tea?

I make tea using tetley or red rose teabags...its pretty stong cause that's how my parents like it... lol

ditto!

I make chai exactly the same way, except add some chai masala + powdered ginger/cardamom, and it really turns out great!

Re: How to make tea?

i mix a tea bag with a teaspoon of coffee. The I take the tea bag out to use for next time (yes i use the teabag twice), with 2 teaspoons of canderalla (sugar free sweetner) No milk. Sometimes i add a square of chocolate.

Re: How to make tea?

^^ Coffee mixed with tea? ewww

I boil water in a tea pot, then drain the water. Then I put some mint or thyme leaves (which i grow in the summer) or any other leaf (i.e. jasmine or rose flowers with oolong) in the pot and pour boiling water over it and let it steep for 3-5 minutes while keeping it lightly heated on a stove. Some leaves I steep up to 3 times. Then I drink. The pot has a volume of about 1.5L. I add sugar some times while steeping, usually in the sage or thyme teas because they are a bit more bitter.
