How does one make and serve loose tea?
Unlike bagged tea, it is much easier to tailor loose tea for your individual tastes. Loose tea is measured and placed in an infuser. This metal container, usually with tiny holes in it, acts as an environmentally friendly, re-usable tea bag. It allows the water in and the flavor out. Some tea pots come with a strainer basket. You can measure your tea into this basket and remove it before serving. If you like a strong cup of tea, you can put the desired amount of loose tea into a cup and fill with boiling water. Leave it there and enjoy. When you get to the end, don’t forget the loose tea at the bottom of your cup.
