Answers:
They sell little round tea balls that you open and put the tea in.Put the tea in, and add the ball to boiling water and then turn off fire and let steep for 4 mins. Then the tea is ready.Make it by the cup or pitcher full.
You take a little teapot and put like a teaspoon of that in there and pour freshly boiled water in there and then leave it in there for a few minutes then pour it into a cup.
Take One Tea cup of water & one tea spoon of your Tea Powder. Boil it in medium high. Turn off the stove. Let it stand for 2 or 3 min. Then strain your tea into a cup.
There are plenty of brewing devices to help you brew that tea....there are tea balls , mesh screens that fit into a single cup, spoons that have two sides,
go to adagio.com and click on teaware, you'll see lots of devices there.
remember that two teaspoons to one serving of tea (12 oz) is the general rule.
put one 2 teaspoon and brew it with hot water..it is a black tea so hot boiling water will be needed.
