  • Tea is never […] prepared with boiling water

    I’m happy to see this, and want to add a few points of my own

    • Herbal infusions (ginger&lemon, rooibos, nettles, etc) are often better prepared at boiling temperature or even boiled for a while (esp. nettles!).
    • Tea is another type of plant, tea is often better prepared in hot but not boiling water
    • If you pour 100C water into a 20C mug, it’s instantly 85-90C, which is perfect for most black teas and darker oolongs! Just pour the boiled water into a mug, then put the tea leaves in!
