Making tea with a coffee press: A christmas miracle?
Making tea in a coffee press
Season’s greetings, lovers of tea!
The Season of Giving is over. Teato has given many beautiful gifts to many beautiful women this Christmas, but he has also received some wonderful presents. And while some lovely and generous ladies know my tastes extremely well (I love delicious tea; this is no surprise to loyal readers) others seem to know very little about me.
One lovely girl actually gave me a coffee press for Christmas. A coffee press! It’s as if we are total strangers! But all is not lost. I will make the best of it, and pass on this important tea lesson to you. You can make tea with a coffee press — in fact, it’s a great way to brew loose leaf tea, which as you know, is far superior to teabags.
It’s easy to make tea with a coffee press. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Put the tea leaves in the carafe.
2. Pour hot water into the carafe.
3. After allotted steeping time is up, slowly press the plunger to the bottom.
4. Pour the tea into a teapot or cup.
This last step is very important. If you know much about brewing a perfect cup of tea, then you will know that tea can only steep a certain amount of time without starting to taste bitter.
It is not hard to make tea, but it is hard to make GOOD tea.I hope this will help you to brew a better cup of tea. And when someone gives you a coffee press, do not think it requires you to drink coffee. A tea lover’s heart cannot be tamed.
