Now
getting down to the business of making tea. Lets start with the basics.
Things
you need:
Tea
:
you can use either tea bags or loose-leaf tea. But it is
important to remember to use plain or non-flavored
tea when making Indian tea. Brooke Bond Red label,
Tajmahal Black tea, Lipton Green and Red Label Tea are just
some of the famous loose-leaf teas from India.
Milk
- whole, 2% or skim
Sugar
or Sugar Substitute
India
Tree White European-Style Sugar Cubes, 2.2 Pounds
Spices
(optional)
Tea
cup and saucer or Mug / Cup : To enjoy your cup
of tea in.
Tea
strainer
: Used to strain loose leaf tea. A '''tea strainer''' is a device that is placed over a cup and catches
tea leaves as tea is poured through..
Progressive
Stainless Steel Tea Ball
Its great
for making fresh homemade loose leaf tea. Simply fill the ball
with your tea or spices, and let it absorb in a fresh cup for
tea or in a pot for a healthy broth!
Tea
press
/ squeezer : Used to press tea bags.
For maximum
flavor, pick up your tea bag with these tongs and
squeeze--excess water drips out the holes.
These are the basics.
Adding a few spices will make that plain cup of tea into
"Masala" tea!
