To use a tea infuser, you can follow these basic steps:
- Add tea leaves: Add the desired amount of loose leaf tea into the infuser. Typically, one teaspoon of tea per eight ounces of water is recommended.
- Place the infuser in your cup or teapot: Place the infuser into your cup or teapot if you are making more than one cup.
- Pour hot water: Pour hot water over the infuser and let it steep for the recommended amount of time depending on your tea type and personal preference.
- Remove the infuser: Once the tea is steeped, remove the infuser from the cup or teapot and discard the leaves.
- Enjoy your tea: Add sweeteners, milk or lemon according to your taste preference and enjoy your tea.
By using a tea infuser to brew loose leaf tea, you can enjoy the full flavor of the tea without the need to strain out the leaves. Remember to adjust the steeping time and amount of tea leaves used based on your preference and the type of tea you are brewing.
