Coke tea is brewed at a temperature of 75-80 ° C (not boiling water) and no longer than 2-3 minutes; otherwise, the infusion becomes bitter. Take a teaspoon of 200 ml of water; the bowl is warmed up, tea is poured first for a third, after a minute - to the edge. Sugar is not put in the cup; sweetness is near, in a bowl with navvat.
To pilaf in the Uzbek tradition, it is coke tea, not black: a light infusion refreshes after a greasy kitchen, helps digestion and does not burden the taste. To pilaf with apricots, kok-tea goes especially well - a fruit note responds in tea.
Green tea should be stored especially carefully: it quickly takes moisture and loses its aroma. After opening, pour into a tight jar and keep in a dry, dark place, away from spices and coffee. Shelf life is shorter than black - up to 18 months, bright - the first 6-9 months.
