Making hot tea
Tea brewing is the process of steeping tea leaves in hot water to extract their flavor, color, and beneficial compounds.
The method varies by tea type: delicate green and white teas require cooler water and shorter steeping times, while black and herbal teas can handle boiling water and longer infusions.
Factors like water temperature, steeping duration, and leaf-to-water ratio all affect the final cup.
