Never make tea this way: why you can't squeeze brewed bags

Brewing tea seems to be the easiest task there is. However, this particular drink is often brewed incorrectly. It's all about one simple action.

The Mirror magazine has told us how not to brew tea. Everyone makes this mistake.

What spoils the taste of tea the most

We're talking about tea bags. As a rule, you pour boiling water over it, and after a while it is taken out. Most people squeeze the tea out of it into a cup with a spoon, but this way you only spoil the drink.

What is the reason for this

The liquid that collects in the bag contains a lot of tannins. These, in turn, are very bitter. Therefore, the tea you squeeze the bag into will also become very bitter too. In addition, when you squeeze the bag, you may accidentally tear it.

How to brew properly

After you pour boiling water over the bag, let it steep for a while. The length of time depends on how strong you want your drink to be. After that, remove the bag and throw it away immediately without squeezing it into a cup.
