How people cook with it
Black tea is a versatile ingredient, enjoyed hot or cold. It serves as a base for many popular drinks and can also be incorporated into certain culinary preparations.
- Brewed hot for a morning drink

To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot water over the bag and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the tea bag and enjoy plain or with additions like milk, sugar, lemon, or honey. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and pour over ice. This tea can also be used to add depth to recipes like cakes or custards, where its tannic qualities can complement other flavors.
