More Black Tea Information 
Use fresh milk for best fragrant taste. For best results, heal the milk before using. However, cold milk will also do.
The ratio of milk to tea is usually 1 10 However, this can be adjusted according to preference. Sugar is also optional.
When brewing flavored black tea. it is best to use broken black tea leaves for convenience and speed. The tea leaves in the tea bags are broken black tea leaves. These tea leaves were diced when processed, therefore, the soluble compounds in the tea leaves are released quickly when immersed, and the tea will be ready in a shorter period of time.
The correct brewing method for tea bags is to add the tea bag to the water Leave the attached cotton string out of the cup. If the tea bag is added first before pouring the water, the air in the teabag will cause the teabag to float up and this will affect the fragrance and taste of the tea. Also, the cotton string and label might fall into the cup when pouring the water.
When milk is added to the broken black tea, the liquid turns dark red. This is a sign of good quality. If it turns ginger yellow, then the tea leaves are of substandard quality.
