The recommended amount of tea powder per cup depends on whether you are brewing hot or iced tea.
Tea Powder Ratios: Hot vs. Iced Tea
| Type of Tea | Tea Powder per Cup |
|---|---|
| Hot Tea | 1 teaspoon |
| Iced Tea | 2 teaspoons |
Hot Tea
- Typically, you'll need 1 teaspoon of tea powder for every cup of hot tea. This ratio provides a balanced flavor that is suitable for most people's preferences.
- For example, if you're making hot tea in a 1-liter teapot, which is roughly equal to 4 cups, you would use around 4 teaspoons of tea powder.
Iced Tea
- For iced tea, it's common to use a stronger brew to compensate for the dilution caused by ice. Therefore, use 2 teaspoons of tea powder per cup.
- This increased ratio ensures that your iced tea doesn't taste too weak or watery once you add ice.
Practical Tips
- These ratios are a general guideline. Adjust according to your personal taste preferences, experimenting to find your perfect brew.
- For stronger teas, you might choose to increase the amount of tea powder, while for more delicate teas, you may prefer to use slightly less.
