Instructions:
- Boiling Water:
- Start by bringing fresh, filtered water to a boil. Use approximately 1 cup (240 ml) of water for each serving of tea.
- Preparing Ingredients:
- Measure about 1 tablespoon (5-7 grams) per cup of water.
- Pouring Water:
- Pour the boiling water directly over the tisane.
- Steeping Time:
- Let the tea steep for about 5-7 minutes. Adjust the steeping time according to your preference for stronger or milder tea and the intensity of flavors you desire from the added ingredients.
- Straining:
- If using loose ingredients, strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer or a tea infuser.
- Serving:
- The tisane can be enjoyed plain or with a touch of honey or a slice of lemon, depending on your taste preferences.
Tips:
- Temperature: Avoid boiling the tea leaves and added ingredients directly in water for extended periods as it can turn bitter. Allow the water to cool slightly after boiling before pouring over the ingredients.
- Storage: Store tea in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain freshness.
