Want a great cup or pot of tea?  Want to control you tea strength and flavor?

Give tea strainers and infusers a try.
You can brew loose tea leaves with tea strainers and infusers, both will give you a high quality tea with wonderful flavor.

Brew with a tea strainer
Fill your strainer with loose tea leaves, some recommend about a teaspoon. Place your strainer over your teacup. Pour hot water over the strainer filled with loose tea leaves. Leave to brew about 5 minutes or until you reach your desired tea strength.

Brew with a tea infuser
Bring your water to a boil, and pour into your teapot. Fill your infuser with loose tea leaves, about 2 teaspoons. Place it in your teapot with boiling water. Brew until you reach your desired tea strength.

While the process of brewing with strainers and infusers are almost the same, an infuser will allow you to brew more than one cup of tea. Although, some use infusers for just one cup tea, as well.

Enjoy!
