On days like the ones we've had lately, which are cold or rainy, there's nothing I want more than a cup of tea.
It's a joy: putting the kettle on, having my favourite cup ready and sitting on the sofa waiting to hear the characteristic and unmistakable whistle that announces that the water is ready so I can prepare my favourite tea or infusion.
Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world. It has a large number of health benefits. It helps me relax and have my moment of tranquility at home or after a very heavy meal, tea helps me have an easier digestion.
To fully enjoy a tea or infusion, it is best to use a teapot. The material they are made of, such as enamelled or stainless steel, helps to distribute heat quickly and effectively and our tea or infusion will be ready in no time.
Many of you will wonder how much tea you should use to obtain a good tea. This depends a little on the type of leaf, but you should keep in mind that the leaves should be loose in the container with which you prepare the infusion. That is, they should fill the container but not overcrowd it. In this way, they will release all their aroma. Also, the water with which you prepare it should be fresh, if possible, because it protects the aroma of the leaves better.
Most of the time, the water needs to be boiled. The water temperature can vary depending on the type of tea. To make one conveniently and take full advantage of its properties, I use the Le Creuset Zen Teapot . It's a beauty, apart from being super practical. It's made of steel and has a handle so I can easily pour my infusion.
Le Creuset also has other teapots, such as the Tea Time. It is made of stainless steel, with a very careful design that makes preparing tea an art.
Le Creuset Tea Time Teapot
One of the most traditional teapots from Le Creuset is the Demi . Made of enamelled steel, it conducts heat very quickly and gets my infusion ready in no time.
All the teapots I've shown you are definitely beautiful. Do you know how funny it is that they whistle when the water is ready? I love it! I have them on display in the kitchen because they look so pretty...
Now you know, to prepare a tea with the certainty that it will have all its aroma and maximum flavour, without wasting too much time, Le Creuset teapots are a very safe bet.
Le Creuset Teapots
When you have a bad day, you are very stressed at work or you are overwhelmed, a good remedy is to put the kettle on the stove, choose the infusion or tea that you like the most and enjoy a nice warm cup while you relax on the sofa, watching your favourite series or reading a book. Can there be anything better to leave a bad day behind or to warm up during a winter day? For me it works like a charm and it is the best remedy for annoying bosses or grey days...
Do you usually drink tea or other infusions? Do you use teapots to prepare them? I want to know your tastes and habits!
