Brewing time: The finer the grain of tea, the faster the brew time. Nearly powdered teas are ready to go in about two minutes or less, while large leaf varieties may need more than five minutes.   Kevin Solway (173)

Make your own decaffeinated tea: Caffeine is highly water soluble, so it is one of the first constituents of the leaf to be extracted in the steeping process. Usually 80 percent or more of the tea's caffeine content is released within the first 20 to 30 seconds of steeping. You can enjoy any tea virtually caffeine-free (with little sacrifice of flavor) by discarding the water after the first 30 to 60 seconds of steeping and adding fresh hot water to the now largely decaffeinated leaf.   Kevin Solway (173)

Iced tea: To make iced tea that is clear and not too cloudy, place 4 tea bags into a 2-quart pitcher of water and leave in the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours. When making a pitcher of iced tea, add fruit juice (pineapple or citrus juice) - it tastes refreshing, delicious and saves on the amount of tea you use. To keep ice tea cold without diluting the tea, freeze some of the brewed tea in ice cube trays and use them in your serving pitcher.   Kevin Solway (173)
