On this rare freezing day here in Lakeway, Texas, I've been making hot tea...or trying! I'm so used to tea bags for iced tea, I've forgotten how to do loose tea!
I have a wonderful collection given to me by my daughter in little plastic baggies: Peach Green, Sencha Green, Black Currant, Earl Grey Green, Viking, Chrysanthemum, Jasmine, and Tropical Paradise Green Decaf! Do I use different amounts for different teas or all they all of the same strength?
There are no instructions! My little Japanese tea pot holds 2 cups of water and has the strainer in it for the loose tea! I do know not to place the tea pot on the burner. I heat the water in a kettle, then pour over the loose tea in the decorative pot.
Please answer soon, as I want tea tonight! :) However, I'm a teacher and school has just been cancelled again tomorrow, so I still want your input even if you're asleep and answer tomorrow. (I tried 2 pots and it tastes too strong!)
