How to make plain black tea

  1. Boil some water. You want it really hot. Like just started bubbling.
  2. Put a black tea bag (or a spoon of loose black tea if you have it) in your favorite mug.
  3. Pour the hot water right over the tea. Not too slow, just normal.
  4. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes. If you like it stronger, go on the longer side.
  5. Take out the tea bag (or use a strainer if you used loose tea).
  6. That’s it. Drink up. No sugar, no milk, just plain black tea.

lightbulb_2 Tips

  • Taste test: After 3 minutes, take a quick sip. If it’s too weak, let it sit another minute.
  • Water matters: If your tap water tastes weird, use bottled water. Tea can pick that up.
  • Messy with loose tea? Use a strainer or just settle for a couple leaves at the bottom. Not a big deal.
  • Don’t squeeze the tea bag or you’ll get a bitter taste.
