Ingredients
- Black Oolong Tea Leaves
- 2 tablespoons
- Filtered Water
- 2 cups
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil.
- Once the water temperature reaches 85-95°C (185-203°F), turn off the heat. This temperature is crucial for extracting the perfect balance of flavors without causing bitterness.
- Place 2 tablespoons of black oolong tea leaves into a tea infuser or directly into a teapot.
- Pour the hot water over the tea leaves, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes. The longer the steeping time, the stronger the flavor. However, be careful not to oversteep as it may result in a bitter taste.
- After steeping, remove the tea leaves or infuser from the teapot.
- Pour the tea into a cup, sit back, and savor the rich and unique flavor of your homemade black oolong tea. Enjoy it as it is or pair it with your favorite teatime snack.
