What is the tea bag ratio?

• A. 1,2,3
• B. 1,1,2
• C. 2,2,3
• D. 0,1,2

Answer: (B)

Understanding a tea bag ratio means keeping the relationship between the tea bag, the water, and any sweetener in fixed proportion so the tea tastes consistently. The balance shown here uses one tea bag for each cup of water and two teaspoons of sugar. That yields a 1:1:2 ratio: 1 bag, 1 cup of water, 2 teaspoons sugar. It scales nicely—two cups of tea would be two bags, two cups of water, and four teaspoons of sugar—preserving the same strength and sweetness. If you change any part without adjusting the others, the flavor goes off: more water with the same bag weakens the tea, or the sweetness becomes mismatched. The other options disrupt this simple balance, making the tea either too weak, too sweet, or lacking tea flavor.
