In ounces, can you tell me the usual serving size for hot asian teas?
Please, no replies from the usual moron trolls who hang out in the V&V section.

Hi,
I type only of the lovely sweet black teas that I often partook of when living in the Mid-East.
Usually served in what I can best describe as old-fashioned sherry glasses.
I did compliment my host one day on the fine quality of the tea, and he was bemused to learn that a lot of Brits just bunged a perforated bag in a mug with boiled water, and swamped it with milk.
He kindly led me to his kitchen , complete with "houseboy", who showed me that he takes fresh, but dried and seasoned varieties of teas from the local souk, infuses them for an hour or so in hot water, strains the product, and just adds a fair amount of brown sugar
Boiling water is then added, and poured into those little glasses.
Quite a performance for a cup of tea !
I started making that at home, much to the delight of my Arabic guests.
As for ounces per glassful. I would guess he used about about 2-3 ounces for ten glasses, used twice.
Chi, it is called, and fine stuff, although I did make a personal "improvement" once by adding a good sprinkle of dark rum.
Cheers !
Bob
