• I used 3 Roses tea powder that gives a good flavour and taste
• Closing the lid for few secs lets the tea powder to release its flavours
• Remove the lid immediately orelse the milk will spilt
• Pulling the tea is very important in tea making, because its releases a nice aroma , taste and flavour to the tea, so dont forget to pull the tea for 3-4 times
• Never reheat he tea directly on stove top, it'll spoil the taste
• If you want to reheat place the vessel containing tea on a boiling water
