How many do you add to hot water to make tea?

I mix this with other herbs/flowers and white tea. I usually put no more than five or six buds in my tea pot. I've never made tea with only the rose buds.

If you are asking about making a tisane tea for skin (like a mild toner that would be enough to impart a fragrance. If you are referring to making a cup for consumption I wouldn't drink it unless you can verify from the supplier that it was grown without pesticides. You could be drinking poison. I'm a nurse and I'm just cautioning you. THanks

Not sure, never tried hot water. Maybe you could try warm water and let it sit at room temp until tea has flavored the water to your liking. Or sun tea brewed in the sun.

I bring about 3 quarts of water to boil, add the tea bag, turn the burner off and cover the pot. I let it steep for about 45 minutes. I then dilute the tea with cold water - adding about 9 quarts of water. These large tea bags make up to 3 gallons of tea. You can make less by letting the tea steep for a shorter time - maybe 10 minutes -- then add water to dilute to strength that you want.

Yes, put loose tea in the diffuser and pour boiling water for black tea and not quite boiling water for green/white/herbal teas over the tea leaves and into the pot. Make sure you make 2-3 cups (typically 1 level tsp of tea per 8 oz of water) to cover the tea in the diffuser. One cup is not enough. Steep black tea for 3-5 mins and green tea for 2-3 mins. Enjoy.

1/2 to 1 tsp depending on strength of tea and and length of brewing, more then that and the water can't circulate and the added tea doesn't add flavor

A little bit of loose tea can easily make one cup. Pay attention to home much boiling water you add.

OMG you NEVER put porcelain on the burner!! Proper method is to boil good water and then pour around a half cup of hot water into the pot to warm it and clear any debris. Then measure around 1 tsp of bulk tea for each 6 oz tea cup - in this case for a 6 cup pot - around two table spoons or one oz. Then pot fill with boiling water, stir briefly once to get it started, and steep for at least ten minutes. Use a "tea cozy" to keep the pot warm at the table, and a tea sieve to strain out bits of tea leaf when pouring into cups. This pot is a "fancy" and not intended for everyday use. But at a mini "high tea" though, the grand kids love it. It also works with a group of friends over to play cards! TIP: with good teas you can get at least one, maybe two, extra good pots using same tea leaves! just refill w/boiling water.

It depends how strong you like your tea. I would say about 1 teaspoon per 8 ounces of water (3 teaspoons for 24 oz), but you would probably have to try this out and go from there.

If you are new to Matcha, it is recommended to start with 1/2 teaspoon in 8 to 12 ounces of hot water. After you have been drinking Matcha tea for a few weeks, you may increase it up to 1 teaspoon per cup of water. Of course, make it to you palate and desired taste - if you like it stronger, make it stronger. Lots of people make a matcha tea latte by adding warm milk and sweetener for a delicious matcha drink.

I did an experiment for you and filled the kettle to the level I usually do and then poured it out into my coffee mug, which is a standard size. I got 8.5 mugs out of one full kettle. So if your cups are a little larger you'll get less, or if you use smaller, Japanese sized cups you'll get more.

I occasionally make only 2 cups; it works satisfactorily. I do make sure the tea bags are stuffed down into the bottom of the basket and I may allow another minute of brewing time. Three or more cups is ideal.

For every quart of water I add 1 oz. of the tea. I make this tea for my friend and myself. I use 3 quarts of water and 3 ounces of tea. I bring the 3 qts of water to a boil, add the 3 oz of tea and boil 10 minutes, remove from burner and let sit overnight for 24 hours and then bring to a boil again and boil for 10 more minutes, strain and add to the quart jars. I replaced the metal lids with white plastic ones that you can buy at Walmart. Hope this helps.

I heat the water in a regular tea kettle, then pour the water over the tea into the pot. After it has brewed I then transfer the brewed tea to another pot so the tea doesn't get too strong. Of course you can take out the insert but watch burning you hands. B Hardy

for strong sweet tea that will be poured over ice in a glass, I use 9 Darjeeling or 10 Orange Pekoe. For non-sweet tea, I use 7 or 9 respectively. I just remember the hotter the weather the faster the ice will melt and I make the tea stronger. This ratio is for hot weather or serious tea lovers. FYI, Peg Ryan

It really depends on how strong you like your tea. I personally use three family size tea bags. The instructions say you can use regular size tea bags (I usually use 4) and you can also use loose tea.

The suggested amount is one teaspoon to one cup of water... I always use a tad more when making a soup stock...

It depends on the size of the tea cups you use. I can serve up to 4-6 people using mine (small saucers) but actual measurement holds 2.5-3 cups using the enclosed strainer. The tea stays warm close to a hour. Hope you get it and enjoy!
