Lapsang Souchong
Lapsang Souchong is a Chinese black tea that is known for its smoky characteristics. The aroma and flavour that can be similar to a campfire.
Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons Lapsang Souchong black tea (loose leaf) or 1 tea bag
- 1 cup water freshly boiled (100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Sweetener and milk optional
Instructions
- Pour warm water into your steeping vessel (teapot or mug), swirl it around carefully then discard the water. This step will warm the teapot or mug which will help retain heat and steep the tea properly.
- Add the Lapsang Souchong tea leaves or tea bag to the warm teapot or infuser mug. Pour freshly boiled water over the tea, cover the teapot or mug with a lid or small plate and steep for 3-4 minutes.
- If using a teapot without an infuser, pour the steeped tea into a cup over a strainer to catch the tea leaves. If using an infuser in the teapot or mug, remove the infuser basket when the steeping process is complete.
- If desired, add a splash of milk and/or sweetener of your choice to the cup. Stir, sip and enjoy!
