Notes
- Experiment with different tea varieties to find the one that suits your taste preferences. Black tea, such as Earl Grey or Darjeeling, offers a robust flavor, while green tea provides a more delicate and grassy taste.
- Adjust the strength of your tea by varying the steeping time.
- Apart from sugar or honey, you can also try alternative sweeteners like maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia. Remember to add sweeteners to the hot tea while it's still brewing to ensure they dissolve properly.
- If you prefer a smoother and less bitter taste, try the cold brew method. Combine tea bags or loose tea leaves, water, and lemon slices in a pitcher, and refrigerate overnight. This method extracts flavors more gently and reduces the risk of bitterness.
