To make tea, first, water, acting as the solvent, is boiled. Sugar, a solute, is added to the water and dissolves creating a solution. Tea leaves, which are insoluble, are added and the solution is boiled further. After steeping, the tea is strained, leaving the tea leaves as residue. The clear filtrate, now containing the dissolved sugar and tea essence, is the tea.
Detailed Steps:
Solvent Preparation: Take a pot and add water (the solvent). Heat the water until it boils.
Adding Solute: Add sugar (the solute) to the boiling water. The sugar will dissolve in the water, forming a solution.
Adding Tea Leaves: Add tea leaves (which are largely insoluble) to the solution.
Boiling: Let the solution boil for a few minutes to extract the flavor and color from the tea leaves.
Straining: Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve to separate the insoluble tea leaves (residue) from the tea solution (filtrate).
Final Product: The clear, flavorful filtrate, now containing the dissolved sugar and tea essence, is the tea.
