The function of tea infuser
Datetime:2015-08-19 Hits:
A tea infuser is a device in which loose tea leaves are placed for steeping. The tea infuser performs the same function as a tea bag. The tea infuser is usually a small mesh or perforated container in the shape of a sphere.
The tea infuser is placed in a cup or pot of hot or boiling water allowing the tea to brew without tea leaves spilling into the pot or cup. When brewing tea using an infuser, we recommend filling the infuser half way so the wet leaves can expand and then increasing the surface area of the leaves exposed to the boiling water to allow for quicker brewing.
Put one teaspoon of tea in the infuser (make sure you do not overfill the infuser as the water needs to be able to circulate around the leaves and the leaves will swell to double their size).
Put infuser in a cup and add freshly boiled hot water. You will see colour in the cup almost straight away but you should continue to infuse for 3 – 5 minutes to get a full flavour.
A tea infuser keeps any tea leaves from floating freely in your cup while you drink. After all, you probably don't want to be chewing on tea leaves while you drink! It also lets you stop steeping tea after a specified time. This keeps your tea from getting bitter.
You can use a disposable paper filter if you want something you can throw away. Otherwise, you can use a basket infuser to place in your mug or pot. These will last you many years if you treat them well. Many of our teapots come with an infuser.
