Why do you use boiling water to make tea and leave it to diffuse?
Actually you don't use "boiling" water, You are supposed to use water that has just quit boiling. The idea is that boiling will damage the leaves (tea is tea leaves) But the water should be just that hot to release the flavour properly and the tea should be allowed to steep for a few minutes and allow the leaves to release all their different flavours naturally with out stirring our damaging the leaves. If it is done properly you get a very nice effect that I am unable to taste, so I use boiling water and stir my tea as I am impatient and can't tell the difference.
