How people cook with it
Assam tea is a versatile choice for daily enjoyment. It can be prepared in various ways to suit personal preferences.
- Morning beverage
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- With milk and sugar
- Base for iced tea
To brew a cup of Assam tea, heat fresh, cold water to just before boiling. Place one teaspoon of tea leaves per cup into a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will become. Strain the tea into your cup. Many people enjoy adding a splash of milk and a touch of sugar to soften the malty notes and create a smoother taste.
