CIA Episode 2: The Perfect Tea from Brittney Murray on Vimeo.

Sorry this post is late everyone, I've had an incredibly insane week.

Things to Remember:

  • Japanese cast iron teapots are the best, but you don't have to use them
  • 1 teaspoon per 8 oz. of water (don't use a measuring teaspoon here)
  • Don't use the infuser that comes with the teapot and remember to prep it by swishing around hot water inside the pot (remember to dump it out before adding the tea)
  • Boil your water and dump it inside the teapot, allow it to brew according to the type of tea you're using (for black tea, between 2-3 minutes)
  • Place a small strainer over the cup to catch the tea leaves and pour yourself the perfect cup of tea

Things to Remember:

  • Make sure the coffee is a French Press grind or coarse grind
  • 1.5 grams of coffee (ground) per 1 ounce of hot water
  • Pour hot water slowly over the grounds and stir
  • Place plunger onto the press but DO NOT PUSH DOWN YET!
  • Set timer to 5 minutes
  • Once the time is up, then slowly press the plunger down and you're ready to rock n' roll
Huge props to Willie and Becky for helping me out with the video!
