How Do You Drink Steep Tea?

Drinking steeped tea involves several steps after the actual steeping process. It's about enjoying the flavor and aroma you've created! Here's how:

1. Remove the Tea Bag or Infuser: After the tea has steeped for the recommended time (check the tea packaging for specific instructions; generally 3-5 minutes), remove the tea bag or infuser from the cup. Leaving it in will result in bitter tea.

2. Discard or Save the Tea Bag: Discard the used tea bag (or compost it!). Some higher-quality loose leaf teas can be re-steeped for a second, lighter brew.

3. Add Milk (Optional): If you prefer milk in your tea, add it now. The type and amount of milk are entirely up to your personal preference. Some popular choices include:

   • Cow's milk (whole, 2%, skim)
   • Plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, coconut)

4. Add Sweetener (Optional): If you like your tea sweet, add your preferred sweetener. Options include:

   • Sugar (granulated, brown, cane)
   • Honey
   • Agave nectar
   • Stevia
   • Artificial sweeteners

5. Stir Well: Stir the tea to ensure the milk and/or sweetener are fully incorporated.

6. Enjoy! Sip your tea slowly and savor the flavor. Be mindful of the temperature; it may be hot.

In summary, drinking steeped tea involves removing the tea bag, optionally adding milk and sweetener, stirring, and enjoying the beverage.
