How to Make Perfect Tea: First add milk or water… If you know the method then good tea will be made every time.

The oldest and correct way to make tea is to first boil water, then add tea leaves and if desired, things like ginger and cardamom in the same water. After adding tea leaves in water, it is allowed to boil properly for some time, due to which the real color and spiciness of the tea dissolves well in the water. This first step lays the foundation for the flavor of the tea, so it should not be rushed.

Milk should be added only after the tea leaves have boiled well in water. Always add milk in boiling water, and also add lukewarm milk, otherwise by adding lukewarm milk, the temperature of the tea suddenly drops and the taste does not come out completely. After adding milk, let the tea boil again for one or two minutes, this helps the taste of milk and tea leaves mix well.

Whereas if milk is added first and tea leaves are added later, then the real taste of the tea leaves is not fully revealed. Due to milk, the temperature of the water decreases, due to which the tea leaves are not able to taste properly and the tea remains dull. This is why most experienced people always advise to boil water and tea leaves thoroughly and only then add milk.

Apart from water and milk, the right time of adding sugar to tea also affects the taste of tea. Some people put sugar in the water first, whereas the correct way is to add sugar after adding milk, i.e. during the last boil of tea. Due to this the sugar dissolves well and the sweetness of the tea remains equal throughout the cup.

Also, it is important to take care of the flame while making tea. Initially, boil water on high flame, but after adding milk, reduce the flame to medium, so that the milk does not boil and spill out and the tea slowly cooks well. Adding milk on high flame causes the tea to boil quickly and its taste also becomes unbalanced.

By taking care of these small things, tea can be made at home as good as in the shop. Adding water, tea leaves, milk and sugar in the right order not only improves the taste of tea but also makes its color and aroma perfect.
