That's 2 g of leaf per 100 ml, with water at 100°C (212°F). Style: Milk tea. Tea: black tea.

Step by step

  1. Simmer 150 ml water with crushed cardamom, ginger and a little cinnamon for 2 minutes.
  2. Add 6 g of strong black tea (Assam is traditional) and simmer 2 minutes.
  3. Add 150 ml milk and sugar to taste; bring just to the boil.

Log it as you brew. Steepbook opens a session with these numbers, scales the leaf to your teaware, times every steep and remembers how it tasted.
