How to Use an Infusing Ball to Brew Tea
1
The best tea you ever tasted starts with clean, cold water. Fill your kettle with cold water, either from the tap or from a filtered water source. Bring the water to a boil.
2
While the kettle is heating the water, fill your infusing ball with fresh, loose tea. You don't need to pack the ball with tea leaves; for a single up of tea you can fill it halfway. Place the infuser in the cup.
3
Allow the kettle to come to a complete, roiling boil. Being careful not to burn yourself on the water or steam from the water, pour it into your tea cup, over the infuser.
4
Steep the tea. Leave the infuser in for at least 3 minutes to allow the tea to develop flavor. If you like a strong cup of tea, leave the infuser in for 5 minutes. Remove it when you are ready to drink.
Tips & Warnings
Sometimes finely ground tea can escape the infuser and leaves will be floating in your tea. You can either remove them with a spoon, or ignore them. Bit of loose tea in your cup is no different than getting a few coffee grounds in your coffee.
Tea left to steep too long will be bitter and unpleasant. Tea that isn't steeped long enough will be weak.
