steeped tea
Hot water extraction
Tea prepared by soaking leaves in hot water, allowing flavor and compounds to extract into the liquid.
The term distinguishes traditionally brewed tea from instant varieties or tea-flavored drinks.
Steeping time affects strength—longer steeping produces bolder, sometimes bitter results: I like my steeped tea strong, about five minutes.
