In our country, many people’s day does not start without tea. If you are also a tea lover, then a good tea would mean a lot to you. Tea has the power to improve mood even in scorching heat.
Well, tea is made in every house, but the method of making it is slightly different. Some people first boil milk and then add water, sugar, tea leaves and other spices to it. Some people first cook all the spices in water and then add milk last. Now the question is which of these two methods is correct? See, these small things matter a lot in making good tea. Therefore, it is important to know whether to add milk or water first while making tea.
While making tea, should you add milk or water first?
According to experts, to make good tea, you should first boil water. When tea leaves, ginger, cardamom or other spices are mixed in water and boiled, their aroma and flavor are released well in the water. Due to this, the overall taste of tea also becomes much deeper and richer. After this, let the water cook thoroughly for 4-5 minutes on low medium flame, then add milk as per requirement. The tea will be very thick, aromatic and tasty.
Taste Tip: Make a paste by grinding ginger, cardamom and cloves well, then add it to water. This will release the aroma of the spices well in the water and your tea will become very strong and tasty.
Does adding milk first spoil the tea?
It is not at all true that if you add milk first then the tea will be bad. People who like to drink thick tea with milk only, make tea by adding tea leaves and other spices to milk. This method makes the tea quite creamy, but the flavor of the spices and tea leaves may feel a little mild. If you like to drink strong and masala tea, then first boil the spices in water and then prepare tea by adding milk.
When should sugar be added to tea?
However, you can add sugar along with other spices and tea leaves in water itself. But many times the correct amount of sugar is not known, hence many people add sugar only after adding milk. This method is also absolutely correct and it does not affect the taste of tea.
What should be the quantity of milk and water?
If you like to drink thick and creamy tea, then you can increase the quantity of milk. Many people like to drink only milk tea. If we talk about normal strong tea, then if you are making two cups of tea, then you can take one cup of milk and one and a half cup of water. This measurement makes perfect tea.
