Tips For Making Tea
Not all tea is the same. In very literal terms, tea is just an aqueous infusion of the tea plant
Camellia sinensis. This may be black or green tea. A distinction should be made from tea-
like products, the so-called herbal and fruit teas.
This also means that not all tea-making can be the same. Depending on the variety,
teas are infused with water at a different temperature in order to bring out the valuable
ingredients and the
fl
avour of the particular variety on the one hand and also preserve
them on the other hand. For this reason, the different varieties also have infusion times of
different lengths.
Below we have summarised a few of the most important basics for making tea. But you
should also always note the preparation details provided on the packaging.
In the case of tea bags, it is essential to note the manufacturer’s preparation instruc-
tions.
Black Tea
Proceed as follows to make black tea:
1. Pour water into the kettle (
3
) (see the “Operation” chapter | “Filling the Kettle”).
2. Unscrew the tea strainer (
6
) if necessary from the tea strainer holder (
7
) on the lid (
1
)
(note the marking on the tea strainer).
3. Fill the tea strainer with tea leaves (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or tea bags (approx.
1 tea bag for 1 – 2 cups).
4. Pour the appropriate amount of water into the kettle. Note the
MIN
(
5
) and
MAX
marking (
8
)!
5. Screw the tea strainer onto the tea strainer holder on the lid (note the marking on the
tea strainer) until it engages.
6. Pull the tea strainer upwards with the aid of the knob (
Picture B
) until it engages up
on the lid.
7. Place the lid on the kettle (see the “Operation” chapter | “Removing / Attaching the
Lid”).
8. Switch on the keep-warm function and bring the water to the boil (see the
“Preparation” chapter | “Keeping Warm” and “Boiling Water”).
9. As soon as the water has boiled, press the knob downwards to immerse the tea
strainer in the boiling water.
10. After the required infusion time, pull the tea strainer upwards using the knob.
11. Remove the kettle from the base station (
4
), and pour the tea into a tea cup or a tea
glass.
12. Then place the kettle back on the base station – this keeps the tea hot.
