Hello there! Welcome to the tea house! A place to relax and talk about your problems, aspirations, etc. Or mainly tea!
Tea is a calming exercise in many countries, it relaxes the mind and reenergizes the body. Japan believes the experience of tea is each a one in a life time experience, meaning the moment will never happen again. But you can still enjoy each experience!! I will post up simple tea remedies to relax the mind.
Fell free to post up your own recipes!
[Todays tea] A great Japanese tea, green tea to be exact! I prefer this tea to be served hot, not cool or cold. I also like it unsweet. =D Not to mention this tea has wonderful health benefits!
Recipe 1: Okinawan Green Tea
First use fresh cool water, if tap let water run for 30 seconds until you fill up the pot.
Next, let pot boil water until steaming or whistle sounds: lower the heat.
Put in loose green tea leaves or bagged (It does not matter) I like to have some leaves in my tea.
The longer you let them seep the stronger the taste.
If you must add sugar add it in before you add anything else, because depending on what you add before it, it may take longer for the sugar to dissolve.
To keep pot of tea hot, use a tea cozy. =D
There you go! Enjoy and talk about your problems until they go away! =D Or just use this thread to get to know one another more. Cheers to this JF family.
