How to boil water

Serious Eats reposted from recently a guide of boiling water. (Step by step, to the smallest detail) explains how to boil water. (For example, step one is, "open your closet or wherever you store your Cookware.") Thanks to accurate level of detail, is a funny post--one that I laugh out loud to the left.

However, as the idea of boiling water is simple, there's a lot of confusion out there about how to prepare your water for coffee and tea. One of the biggest differences between a mediocre (or even terrible) Cup of tea and a big mug of tea is tea brewing temperature. Beer a black tea to too low a temperature that is bland. Tea green Japanese at too high a temperature of beer and is hard, astringent and undrinkable.Similarly, the taste of coffee can be flat if the water temperature is incorrectly used to prepare it.(For coffee, 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal).

There is also a lot of confusion about the water itself. one of the most popular article of this site is a rundown on hard water.A guide to water filters is also very popular, and get a lot of questions about what kind of water is better for the preparation of tea.

Sounds simple. Heat + Water + coffee beans or coffee or tea Tealeaves =. but there's much more to it, and the water is just the beginning ...
