Restaurant Black Tea
What it is
This is a package of loose-leaf black tea, commonly used in food service establishments. It is a dried and processed tea that offers a robust flavor profile. The leaves have undergone oxidation, which contributes to its dark color and strong taste. This tea is intended for brewing a hot beverage.
How people cook with it
Black tea is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for other drinks. It is a staple in many kitchens.
- Brewing hot tea
- Making iced tea

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to a rolling boil. Place the desired amount of tea leaves into a teapot or infuser. Pour the hot water over the leaves and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the leaves and serve the tea hot. For iced tea, brew a stronger concentrate and pour over ice.
