Tea Brewing Tips

There are seven tea brewing tips that can add extra flavor to your tea. These are:

1. Quality of the tea: Never compromise on the quality of tea. Value the pleasure more than the price. You must remember that tea that costs $100 per pound, only costs 50 cents per cup when steeped.

2. Quality of the water: After tea leaves, this is the most important ingredient. Make sure that you use fresh, clean water and not filtered or distilled water.

Those who use turkey smokers get so accustomed to the flavor that they avoid baking, roasting, deep-frying or braising turkeys. To them, a smoked turkey has a richness, flavor and taste that is unmatched by all other methods.
