Step up your TEA GAME!
Lipton tea expert Cheryl Teo spills on how to get brewing like a pro
1 KNOW YOUR STEEP TIME
“Ideally, a black tea should only be steeped for 3-5 minutes. Any longer and this can lead to a bitter tasting tea.”
2 PUT DOWN THE SUGAR
“Most people are adding sweeteners to disguise the bitter taste of tea – usually a result of brewing the tea for too long. A good cup is all about balance, so instead of reaching for the sugar, tweak your brewing parameters for a tastier tea.”
3 IT’S ALL IN THE CUP
“The teacup you choose can enhance your experience by a mile. A tall ceramic cup in winter will help to keep your tea warmer for longer, and for summer tea drinkers, opt for a wide, shallow porcelain teacup.”
