Tea with milk: how to cook correctly

By the method of preparation, the main types of tea are distinguished - this hot  tea with milk and cold.

Oolong tea is most often used for hot tea, but you can brew both black and green tea. But white for such a drink will be too weak. To give a certain aroma, a mixture of herbs can be added to tea. Pink tea is good, it gives a special aroma. To do this, it is enough to add 30 ml of ready-made tea leaves of herbal or flower tea to tea.

For any tea, the start of the cooking process is the same. - at the beginning of cooking you need to pour over the teapot with boiling water. After that, 1 teaspoon per serving for each person and an additional one spoon are put in it. Pour water at a temperature of 80 degrees and leave to insist. The brewing time depends on the type of tea: black tea is infused for 3 minutes, and 1 minute is enough for green tea. If you hold it longer, the drink begins to bitter. Bitterness does not give only Oolong tea, which should be kept for 3 minutes, but a longer insistence will not give bitterness. Herbal tea also does not give bitterness, but it should be kept for 5-6 minutes.

Do not pour tea with boiling water, it will not affect the taste of tea, but it will kill most of the useful substances contained in it. After insisting in a cup (200 ml), gradually pour 70 ml of milk. Do not pour milk too quickly, this can lead to watery tea and a smell.

Add sugar to taste, but remember that sweetness is not very healthy. Therefore, you can replace sugar with honey or completely abandon the sweetener. Milk can also be replaced with cream or condensed milk.

The main requirement for brewing cold tea is that it must be strong. It will be enough 2-3 teaspoons of tea. Tea boiled in boiling water should be infused for 2 minutes. If large-leaf tea is used, then it is more convenient to use a strainer for brewing. Next, add milk, it is possible and condensed. Then fill the glass with crushed ice or ice cubes until the middle, a little more. Do not add a lot of ice, as the drink will turn out to be watery.
