Instant tea powder by itself is the dehydrated flavor, aroma, and color compounds found in tea. When marketed, other ingredients can be added, such as sugar for taste, citric acid for tartness, [2] and other flavors that would not normally be found in tea leaves, such as those of raspberry or lemon.
The ratio of tea to water is typically 40% tea to 60% water depending on the desired strength. [2] [clarification needed] Cold brewing requires a much higher quantity of tea to ensure that enough flavor is extracted into the water. The steeped tea is usually left to brew in room temperature or refrigeration for 16–24 hours.

The resulting drink is transparent and ranges from pale to bright yellow in color, with a floral aroma. [4]
Black tea is first withered to induce protein breakdown and reduce water content (68–77% of original). The leaves then undergo a process known in the industry as disruption or leaf maceration , which through bruising or cutting disrupts leaf cell structures, releasing the leaf juices and enzymes that activate oxidation.
Noon chai is traditionally made from green tea leaves, milk, salt and baking soda, and is usually cooked in a samavar.

When milk is added, it combines with the ...
