Surprise in tea with your own hands. What to write on tea bags

Well, you won’t find out how to make a tea bag everywhere! When buying tea bags, we do not know what its quality is. You never know what they grind there. But you can find a way out. For example, buy special bags for brewing tea in the store or make them yourself....:)

And so, let's see......

You will need filter paper, thread, plain paper and delicious tea. Did you know that tea bags used to be made of silk? But this was too expensive. Then they began to use gauze for this, and then in 1929, filter paper. It has unique properties: it has high water resistance and low density.
Tea bags come in different shapes. The British love round ones, which lie at the bottom of the mug and infuse the tea with flavor in stages. There are pyramidal packages, but we will make a two-chamber one.



Follow photo instructions.
For one bag, you will need a piece of filter paper twice the length of the bag and twice the width.
Draw fold lines as shown in the photo.



Bend along the lines and fold the bag as shown in the photo.



Place tea to taste in a bag.



All that remains is to fasten it. You can use a stapler, you can use thread. The main thing is not to use glue.



Now let's print and cut out tags for bags on which you can write the name of the tea variety. Bend along the dotted line, insert the thread from the bag inside and glue the two sides of the tag together.

You can also use this option:

These homemade bags are so cute and would make a wonderful and original gift! Here's how you can make them...

- coffee filters;
- scissors;
- a sewing machine (in extreme cases, you can get by with a needle and thread);
- stapler;
- floss for embroidery;
- paper for the tag;
- cinnamon, ground ginger, mint, thyme and other herbs (optional).

Step 1: Cut out rectangles from two coffee filters. You can simply cut off the ribbed part.

Step 2: Sew the filters on three sides, leaving one of the smallest sides open.

Step 3: Fill the bag with brewed tea. I use 1-2 teaspoons, depending on the size of the bag and how strong you like your tea. (You can also add half a teaspoon of herbs).

Step 4: Sew the open part of the tea bag. It should now be stitched on 4 sides!

Step 5: Fold the corners as shown in the photo. Hide the end of embroidery floss 5-6 centimeters long under one corner.

Step 6: Fold the top end down and secure with a stapler (you can stitch this part if you want).

Step 7: Cut out paper tags and glue, sew, or “staple” them to the end of the floss.

To make a cup of tea, pour the bag hot water and let sit for 3-5 minutes...and enjoy!!!

And these bags are hand knitted and sewn from silk, that’s also an option....:)))

How to make DIY tea bags from coffee filters The master class from the blog "A beautiful mess" tells in detail.

The process is quite simple.

First, we cut out blanks for bags from coffee filters and sew them on three sides. Then add tea. The blog authors give two tips at once. Firstly, they recommend adding no more than 2 teaspoons of tea, otherwise the tea will be too strong. Secondly, why not add half a teaspoon of your favorite spices to the tea leaves? After this, we sew up the fourth side, fold the bag, and attach a decorative tail.

Let's see all the details in the blog "A beautiful mess" on the page " Make your own tea bags! ".

Due to its ease of use, bagged tea has long gained popularity and has even somewhat replaced its loose counterpart. Indeed, throwing a triangle with tea leaves into boiling water is much easier than preparing an invigorating drink according to all the rules. But the quality of such tea most often leaves much to be desired. Unfortunately, some manufacturers take advantage of packaging features by putting tea leaves of dubious quality into tea bags. Needless to say, true connoisseurs always choose brewing tea leaf, buying only loose product.
If you are not ready to give up convenience, but still want to drink high-quality and delicious drink, try making your own tea bags. This approach guarantees you excellent results with a minimum of time and effort. In addition, you can independently vary the composition of the tea leaves by adding various ingredients to it to suit your taste. This way you will become a real creator of your own tea bouquet, which will give you the opportunity to enjoy the bright aroma and rich color of your favorite drink, which will fully correspond to your personal preferences.

So, to prepare tea bags we need will be needed:

• 1 glass loose leaf tea,
• lemon or orange peels (optional)
• various spices and dried herbs (optional),
• deep bowl,
• paper filters for coffee makers,
• scissors,
• stapler,
• thick cotton thread,
• paper and pen.

Preparation.

1. As the basis for your bouquet, use your favorite variety of loose tea, the quality of which suits you. If you are aiming for a unique combination, use several different varieties. Also, if desired, you can combine into one bouquet, for example, black and green tea. It all depends on your personal preferences and creative drive.
2. Pour the tea leaves into a bowl and add additional ingredients to it. Pairs well with black and green tea lemon and orange zest. Grate the citrus peel on a fine grater and add about a teaspoon to the main composition. To add an invigorating aroma to the drink, you can use fresh or dried mint. If you are looking for a deeper flavor with spicy notes, add a little cinnamon or cloves to the brew. You can also supplement the composition with dried linden, rose hips or chamomile to make it more healthy and rich.
In short, you can use the spices and herbs that you love, or, on the contrary, refuse any additives in favor of traditional tea without additional flavorings.

3. Now let's start making tea bags. The basis will be paper filters for coffee makers, which can be easily found in household appliances and component stores.
Fold the filter in half and cut it with scissors. The resulting triangles are too large for our purpose, so the lower part should be shortened a little.

4. Pour a teaspoon of tea leaves into the triangle and carefully wrap the open parts so that the bag is closed on all sides.

5. Cut 10 centimeters of thick thread and secure it in the upper corner of the triangle, tucking the corner and securing it with a stapler.

6. To make the bags look presentable and elegant, decorate them with labels cut from thick colored paper. Sign the improvised label with a marker, indicating the name of your unique tea blend.

Place the finished bags in a suitable container so that you can always enjoy a homemade tea party with your family or take them with you on a trip. If you wish, you can pack them in a beautiful box or fabric bag and use them as a gift. If among your friends there are true connoisseurs aromatic drink, they will certainly appreciate such a sign of attention in a hand-made style.
