BREWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Every tea is different and can be brewed in different ways and you should experiment with the brewing of your tea to discover its unique character. Here’s a great way to start: Boil the tea and spices in water (around a teaspoon per 8 ounces) for 3 minutes. Add the milk of your choice in a ratio of about 1/4 milk to 3/4 water, stir and simmer for another 2 minutes. Strain the brew to remove tea leaves and add the sweetener of your choice.
