How to make a super cup of tea , thats a question been asked all the time over the internet . So i have planned my way to do it.
When you are searching for the answer, you mostly come up with nothing. As its a daily routeen to make a cup of tea and serve it, nobody cares to write an article about it. That’s why i have written something about it.
The tea is one of the main ingrediants of dailiy life in human civilization in the most of the countries. As well as eire, australia, newzeland and everywhere, its been made with some Different ways.
the recepie of the perfect cup of tea is just eleven points. two of the are cool general agreements. but atleast four others are actually controversial. So here are some rules.
- First of all, Indian or ceylonese tea should be used. China tea is not been used now a days. as its economical and one can have it without milk. And there is not much stimulation in it. So it does not feel good , brave or optimistic to drink it. A nice cup of tea could be the indian tea.
- Tea should be in small tiny pots, with short quantity . you must have seen in army and other places that tea is made in very few quaintity, because if you serve enough of it, it wont taste good. The teapot should be made of china silver or britanniaware teaposts produce inferior tea and enamel pots are worse.
- Secondly, tea should be made in small quantities — that is, in a teapot. Tea out of an urn is always tasteless, while army tea, made in a cauldron, tastes of grease and whitewash. The teapot should be made of china or earthenware. Silver or Britanniaware teapots produce inferior tea and enamel pots are worse; though curiously enough a pewter teapot (a rarity nowadays) is not so bad.
- Thirdly, the pot should be warmed beforehand. This is better done by placing it on the hob than by the usual method of swilling it out with hot water.
- Fourthly, the tea should be strong. For a pot holding a quart, if you are going to fill it nearly to the brim, six heaped teaspoons would be about right. In a time of rationing, this is not an idea that can be realized on every day of the week, but I maintain that one strong cup of tea is better than twenty weak ones. All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes — a fact which is recognized in the extra ration issued to old-age pensioners.
- The tea should be put straight in to the pot. no strainer, muslin bags or other stuff to imprison the tea.
- The water should be boiling at the moment of impact, so the teapot should be brought to the kettle not the other way.
- After making tea, stir it, or better give the pot a good shake that allows leaves to settle.
- One should drink out the good breakfast cup, cylindrical type of tea. not the shallow tea type.
- Always pour the cream of milk before using it for the tea. Milk which is too creamy always gives ta a sticky taste.
- Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round.
- At last, tea , unless one is drinking in some what russian style, should be drunk without sugar. Some of you might think that it will distroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it. it would be reasonable to put in pepper or salt. Tea should be bitter. It you sweaten it, you are no longer tasting the tea. you are testing the sugar.
Some people would answer that they don’t like tea in itself, that they only drink it in order to be warmed and stimulated, and they need sugar to take the taste away. To those misguided people I would say: Try drinking tea without sugar for, say, a fortnight and it is very unlikely that you will ever want to ruin your tea by sweetening it again.
Strong cup of tea is always cool to have. but making it strong really matters. The stonger the tea is , the happy the dinker is. So try it. making a super cup of tea is never hard.
