Description
Making a cup of tea is made easier when using a long handle tea infuser. Infusers have holes large enough to let the hot water interact with the leaves, but small enough to stop most of those leaves from escaping. They essentially do the job of a tea bag. A strainer, meanwhile, is used after the tea in your pot has already brewed.
Tea bags are designed to be steeped directly in hot water. It is possible to use them in a tea infuser. This is particularly useful for those who want to use a specific type of tea bag. Those bags include green tea dipper, in a more eco-friendly and sustainable way. Let your tea steep for around three to five minutes (depending on how strong you like it) before removing the infuser from the water using its handle or chain. Be careful not to burn yourself when handling hot water! Based on the research conducted by Loughborough University, it has been confirmed that putting the milk in before the hot tea is the correct way to make a brew.
When you steep tea too long, the flavor profile changes significantly. Bitterness is one of the first noticeable changes. Prolonged steeping extracts more tannins, which are substances that can make the tea taste harsh. Another impact is the astringency. Steeping means keeping the leaves in water for the entire service of a tea, and infusing refers to the procedure which we pour hot water into a tea pot or a Gaiwan, then pour tea out. In infusing, the amount of time tea leaves staying in water is not as long.
Long-Handle Stainless Steel Tea Infuser Maintenance and Care
A quick wash with soap and water and a rinse with clean water is usually enough to clean stainless steel. For stains, you can mix equal parts baking soda and dish soap to create a paste that’s abrasive enough to remove dirt and grime. You can also dissolve baking soda in hot water to create a foam that can be used to clean stainless steel. Heavy-duty scouring pads and steel wool pads can damage the surface of stainless steel. You should also avoid using harsh cleaners like window sprays or scouring cleansers. Paper towels or newspaper are made from wood and can dull or scratch the coating of stainless steel.
