Innholdsfortegnelse for Teatime Favorites 2020 i TeaTime

In these months of needful social distancing, many of us have been forced to put our tea party plans on hold. As the bans on gatherings are lifted, we find ourselves wanting to come together to celebrate with friends and loved ones around the tea table. This curated collection of 10 table settings and menus showcases some of our favorites from past bimonthly issues of TeaTime magazine. Themes range from seasonal favorites, such as springtime florals and harvest hues, to worthy causes, such as ovarian cancer. If you have always wanted to incorporate tea leaves as recipe ingredients, you’ll be delighted with “Teatime for Tea Lovers” (page 81). And if a touch of whimsy is more your style, then you’ll undoubtedly enjoy our Elvis Presley–inspired menu, which begins on page 113.…

WATER Always use the best water possible. If the water tastes good, so will your tea. If that is not the case, then bottled spring water is a nice alternative. Heat the water on the stove top or in an electric kettle to the desired temperature. A microwave oven is not recommended. TEMPERATURE Heating the water to the correct temperature is arguably one of the most important factors in making a great pot of tea. Pouring boiling water on green, white, and oolong tea leaves can result in a very unpleasant brew. In general, use 170°- to-195° water for these delicate tea types, and always refer to the tea purveyor’s packaging for specific instructions. Reserve boiling (212°) water for black and pu-erh teas, as well as herbal and fruit tisanes.…
