•
Green tea is always dosed less than black tea. Around 1 g per 100 ml or 1 level
teaspoon to 200 ml of water. You can determine the strength of the concentrate
yourself.
•
Boil the water in the kettle. Then pour some hot water into the cups (the teapot has
been pre-warmed on the kettle during the boiling process). Then turn the adjusting
knob back to the “W” position (depending on the type of tea) and allow the water to
cool down a little (approx. 5 - 6 minutes). Now pour hot water from the kettle onto
the tea (note the fill level mark). Place the teapot on top of the kettle as described
before so that the tea remains hot, and then proceed as for black tea.
c)
Herbal tea
Important information:
Herbal, fruit, rooibos and spice teas always require boiling water and have to
brew for at least 5 - 10 minutes! This is the only way to ensure a safe product!
•
Herbal teas – whether loose or tea bags – have to be made with boiling water and the
indicated brewing time should be adhered to. This is because in herbal tea blends
there may, in rare cases, be germs such as salmonella which are killed by heating.
With the wrong preparation these may become a health risk, especially with children’s
teas.
•
Herbal tea should never be made with just warm water in order to bring it quicker to
a drinkable temperature, for example. For babies, small children and sick people in
particular there may be health risks here if, in an unfortunate case, there are germs
in the herbal tea. Herbal tea which has been brewed should also not be left standing
for several hours. This is because although the boiling water kills the germs, spores in
the herbal tea are not killed. These may germinate in warm water.
