Write the steps you would use for making tea. Use the words solution, solvent, solute, dissolve, soluble, insoluble, filtrate and residue.

Tea can be prepared by the following steps:

1) Take a cup of water in a pan and heat it on a gas burner. The water acts as a solvent. Allow the water to boil.


2) Now add a spoonful of sugar in the water. Sugar is a solute. Heat till all the sugar is dissolved in water.


3) We will get a solution of sugar and water.


4) To the solution of sugar and water add a teaspoon of tea leaves. Tealeaves are insoluble in water.


5) Allow the contents to boil and then add milk to the solution and boil again. Milk is also soluble in water.


6) Filter the tea leaves from the solution with the help of a strainer. Hot tea which is collected in the cup is the filtrate and the tea leaves left on the strainer is the residue.
