This fall, cooking tea in the stove quietly became a hot search.
The fire is just red. While cooking tea, a few sweet potatoes, chestnuts and peanuts are simmered.
Drinking hot tea and eating freshly roasted sweet potatoes, this picture is pleasant to think about!
But... do you really know how to make tea?
Some people say that cooking tea is not easy, just add water to the tea? You try it, if nothing unexpected happens, the taste will definitely not be able to taste.
Buying tea is also a technical job.
What to cook?
utensils for making tea, in terms of material, ceramic pots, glass pots, and stainless steel pots are all fine.
But iron pot and copper pot cannot do it, because the metal ions in these two pots will combine with the ingredients of the tea, affecting the taste and taste of the tea soup, and will also cause harm to the pot itself.
In terms of taste, it is better to use a professional teapot to make tea.
What is a professional teapot?
Generally, common teapots on the market have a "filter element", which is a tea separator. This can prevent the tea leaves from being too thick due to long-term boiling or soaking.
Then someone asked, can’t those ancient style pots and pots that look good in taking photos?
of course. But it is not recommended for beginners because they cannot grasp the standard well, and the tea they cook can easily be too thick.
Ceramic pots and clay pots are suitable for cooking milk tea. A small amount of tea leaves and milk can be added to boil and drink it. But if you make pure tea, novices should not try it easily.
What tea to cook?
There is a misunderstanding: any tea can be cooked.
is really a big mistake! Tea is made for good taste, so tea should be selective.
Delicate green tea, white tea , and yellow tea are not suitable for cooking. It is a waste of resources to cook high-end bud tea.
Suitable teas for cooking are:
Old white tea
Old white tea contains substances more easily penetrated at high temperatures. In addition, the unique medicinal fragrance and date fragrance of old white tea are integrated into the tea soup, bringing a warm current to the heart.
black tea
black tea belongs to post-fermented tea, which is generally processed from some coarse and old leaves and tea stems .
Black tea has a process called Wodui fermentation. This procedure is to add microbial bacterial species to the tea leaves and use microbial to ferment the tea leaves. It is under the action of this microorganism that the black tea becomes rich in fragrance and mellow in taste, and the tea soup is mostly dark brown.
black tea ingredients are coarse and older, and after boiling, the taste is more rich and mellow.
In addition, some black teas and old oolong are also suitable for cooking.
What water is used for?
water, just use mineral water. But what many people are confused about is whether to use cold water or hot water?
