I love coffee, but have a surplus of tea bags that I want to experiment with. Does anyone have suggestions for how to get started with tea? Or a simple recipe to use as a baseline? I’m only working with tea bags at this time, which appear to be 2g. I would also love to know how much agitation you are supposed to do with the tea bag itself.

    Temp matters, someone posted that. For example, if you go green, don’t use the same temp water as black, it’ll be bitter as hell. Steep time is generally 2-5min. Dunk, don’t squeeze.

    Tea additions are wide and varied. You’ll have to experiment. Sweet or no sweet. Milk or cream or black.

    After that it could be anything added. Ginger. Vanilla. Mint. ???

    And then there’s brewed iced tea. Brewed sweet iced tea.

    Start with what you have and see if you like tea enough to spend money on more options.
