Preparing By the Fireplace Tea is as easy as can be! Follow these simple steps to enjoy a cozy cup of warmth and delight:
1. Start by boiling fresh, filtered water. For the perfect cup, we recommend using 8 ounces (about 240 ml) of water per serving.
2. While the water is heating up, gather your favorite tea infuser or tea bag. This will help ensure a clean and convenient brewing process.
3. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 1 minute. This temperature is ideal for extracting the flavors from our carefully selected ingredients without compromising their delicate qualities.
4. Now, it's time to infuse the magic! Place 1 tablespoon (about 5 grams) of the By the Fireplace Tea blend into your chosen tea infuser or tea bag.
5. Carefully pour the hot water into your teacup, gently immersing the tea infuser or placing the tea bag inside. Let the tea steep for 4-5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop fully. Feel free to adjust the steeping time to your personal preference, keeping in mind that a longer steep may result in a stronger taste profile.
6. As the tea infuses, prepare to be enveloped by the tantalizing aroma of a crackling fire. Take in the comforting scents and let them transport you to a cozy evening by the fireplace.
7. Once the steeping time is complete, carefully remove the tea infuser or tea bag from your cup. If using a tea infuser, give it a gentle squeeze to extract any remaining flavors trapped within.
8. Now, take a moment to appreciate the beautiful amber hue and enticing fragrance of By the Fireplace Tea. Inhale deeply, allowing the scent to awaken your senses and set the stage for a truly blissful experience.
9. It's time to sip and savor! Take your first luxurious sip, allowing the flavors to dance on your palate. Notice the smoky notes from the Lapsang Souchong, the subtle sweetness of cinnamon, and the refreshing hints of citrus.
