Recipes Ghirardelli recipes Published August 27, 2015 by Cappuccino Connection Make the Perfect Cup of Tea Photo by Corbis For regular black teas: To make tea without milk, 2g of tea should be used for every 100ml of water. Pour freshly boiled water into the pot up to 4mm and 6mm below the brim. The tea should then be left to infuse for six minutes. This is also known as steeping and is the process of soaking a solid – in this case tea leaves – to extract flavours. On average, a teabag weighs 2g but contains around 1.5g of tea leaves, so at least two bags should be used for a small pot of tea and at least four should be used for a larger pot. When made with milk, the tea should be made and brewed in the same way and then added to milk in the cup. At least 2.5ml milk is recommended for use with a smaller pot, and 5ml milk is advised for the larger pot. This helps the milk mix more evenly though the ‘liquor’ when the tea is added to the bowl. For herbal teas: Steeping tea is the process of soaking a solid – in this case tea leaves – to extract flavours and soften it. For standard black tea, freshly boiled water should be used – with temperatures above 95°C (203°F). Water should be left to cool down for at least 30 seconds when making green and white tea, with a recommended temperature of 74°C to 85°C (160°F to 203°F). Oolong tea is best steeped in 85°C (185°F) water. Herbal teas should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95°C (203°F). Regardless of the temperature, the standard explained that tea should be steeped for six minutes. Via Daily Mail Check out our fine tea blends at our Cappuccino Connection Shop . Tips teas tips Published August 27, 2015 by Cappuccino Connection Fix Your Coffee Mistakes Photo by thisoldhouse Perfect your coffee making or you’ll end up having a sub-par cup of joe. Here are ways you’re ruining your coffee: Buying pre-ground beans – ground them yourself for a fresher taste. Not using a burr grinder – get the right grind by investing in a good coffee grinder. Experimenting with different-sized grinds – the coarser the coffee, the more you’ll see the difference in taste. Not using the right water-to-coffee ratio – use a cheap kitchen scale to measure out the amount of beans and water. Using water that’s too hot – after boiling, wait 30 seconds to get the temperature down to about 205°F, a slightly lower and optimal temperature that won’t burn your precious grounds. Buying bad coffee – shop around for good tasting coffee! Storing your coffee in a humid, airy and sunny location – keep it in an airtight, dry, room temperature container out of the sun. Using old coffee – some experts give coffee just a few weeks after its roasting date before it expires. Only get one bag at a time. Looking to buy high quality coffee?
