How To prepare Tava Tea properly
Tava Tea is easy to be prepared
- Pour 3-4 cups (600-700ml) of boiled fresh water into a teapot.
- Let the water to get cooled to approximately 75-80 degrees C.
- Let your tea steep for the first infusion for 3-4 minutes. Your tea should have warm golden brownish colour. Now your tea is ready for drinking.
- Don’t throw away the used teabag, you’ve only used it once, and you have not released all the healthy anti-oxidants and flavors yet! The teabag should not be kept in water, as the leafs will continue to release its flavors.
- Boil 2-3 cups (500-600 ml) of water for the second infusion and pour it into your teapot.
- Wait again till the water get cooled.
- Let your tea steep for the second infusion for 6-7 minutes. The colour should be the same or some lighter like at the first infusion. The second steeping releases different tea anti-oxidants and oils, resulting in a different taste of the tea. You are now ready for your second Tava Tea session.
