2 AnswersEnvironment1 decade agoCan too strong tea made better again?
Sometimes tea has become too strong and tastes bitter; adding extra hot water does not help because the bitterness is due to the presence of certain substances which wouldn’t be there if the tea leaves had been taken out in time.
