I would like to have 1-3 cups of tea on shabbos.
How do I make tea essence?
Can it be stored from week to week or does it need to always be made fresh?
If it can be stored then what is the best way to store it and for how long can it be kept?
How do I make a cup of tea using tea essence? How much essence for 1 cup of water?

On Friday take 2-3 tea bags and fill your cup with hot water. Let it sit there throughout Shabbos and use a third of it each time. (You said you want three cups)

We make fresh every week from 2 to 3 teabags. Pour about 1.5 cups over it in a small bowl and cover.

I put it into a foam coffee cup with the lid. If I want to be fancy I use a small sugar holder, it has a silver cover with handle a tiny hole opens on top and I pour out as much as I need and the tea bags stay inside.
