Step 1: Add the tea leaves/bag
Once the water has come to a boil, add a teaspoon of loose-leaf tea or a tea bag to the saucepan. You can use any tea of your choice, such as black tea, green tea, or herbal tea. Using loose-leaf tea can provide bolder flavors and a fresher taste, but tea bags are more convenient and easier to clean up.

Step 2: Adjust the heat and let the tea steep
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and let the tea steep in the water for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Steeping the tea for too long may result in a bitter taste, so it's important to keep an eye on the time.

Step 3: Add the milk
After the tea has steeped, add the desired amount of milk to the saucepan. About 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk should be sufficient, depending on your taste preferences. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or even non-dairy milk alternatives like almond milk or soy milk.

Step 4: Sweeten the tea
Add your choice of sweetener to taste, such as sugar, honey, or agave syrup. Start with a teaspoon of sweetener and increase to reach your desired level of sweetness.

Step 5: Mix and heat the tea mixture
Gently stir the milk, tea, and sweetener in the saucepan to combine. Allow the mixture to heat for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring it doesn't burn or boil over.

Step 6: Strain and serve
Using a fine mesh strainer or a slotted spoon, remove the tea leaves or tea bag from the saucepan. Pour the sweet milk tea into a cup and serve it warm. Optionally, you can garnish your sweet milk tea with a cinnamon stick or a dash of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to add extra flavor and aroma. Enjoy!<|im_end|>

 Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's the step-by-step process for making sweet milk tea, along with my justifications for each step:

Step 1: Bring the water to boil in a small saucepan.

Justification: We need to boil the water first to kill any bacteria that may be present in the water and to help the tea leaves unfurl and release their flavors. A small saucepan is the best vessel to use for this step because it allows for even heating and prevents the water from boiling over.

Step 2: Add the 3/4 cup of water to the saucepan and bring it to a boil.

Justification: We need to add the exact amount of water as specified in the recipe to ensure the right balance of flavors in the tea. Adding the water to the saucepan and bringing it to a boil allows us to create the right environment for brewing the tea.

Step 3: Add the tea.

Justification: Once the water is boiling, we can add the tea leaves to the saucepan. The amount of tea leaves needed will depend on personal preference, but for this recipe, we will use 3/4 cup of tea leaves. Adding the tea leaves to the boiling water allows the flavors to infuse into the water and create a delicious cup of sweet milk tea.

Overall, these three steps are crucial in creating a delicious cup of sweet milk tea. By following these steps, we can ensure that the tea is brewed to perfection and that the flavors are balanced and delicious.<|im_end|>
