Questions about Black tea
How much black tea should you use for one mug?
Use one tea bag or about 2 g of loose-leaf tea for a mug of roughly 250 ml. Add freshly boiled water and steep for 3–5 minutes, then remove the bag or strain the leaves to prevent a bitter brew.
Should you add milk before or after black tea?
Either works, but adding milk after brewing makes it easier to judge the strength and colour. For a clear cup, leave out the milk and try a slice of lemon instead.
Can you make iced black tea without it tasting bitter?
Brew it slightly stronger than usual, strain it after 3–4 minutes, then cool it promptly and pour over ice. Or steep loose-leaf tea in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours for a smoother, less astringent drink.
How should you store black tea?
Keep tea bags or loose leaves in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from spices, coffee and other strong smells. Avoid storing it beside a kettle, where heat and steam can dull its flavour.
What can you use black tea for besides drinking it?
Strong black tea gives tea loaf its dark colour and flavour: soak dried fruit in the tea before mixing it into the batter. You can also use brewed tea as the base for chai, simmered with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.
Can you use black tea instead of green tea?
Usually, but the result will be fuller and more astringent, so it suits robust flavours such as milk, warming spices and dried fruit. For a delicate tea drink or recipe where green tea's lighter, grassy flavour matters, the swap will be noticeable.
