  Thats interesting 😀
  
  What do you know of the basic operations of making tea manually?

  Hahaha... That does count!
  If you dont, before starting soldering ask your mom!!!😉

  Making Tea Manually:
  
  Boil (water+tea+sugar)
  Then add milk.

  For this project i wat help about
  
  1.SOLEOID VALVES ()
  2.how to monitor the temperture of liqid continuously

  Good, so we have to do the following actions (just one way of doing it):
  
  1. Pour a certain amount of water in the container.
  2. Heat water until certain temperature and maintain.
  3. Add tea (leaves?), sugar, specific amounts then stir/agitate.
  4. Filter
  5. Add specific amount of milk, then stir/agitate.
  
  Regarding valves, you can check out the ones used in draining washing machines. There are new spare parts available that are actually small in size. Of course, you will need to coat the inner tube with something that will not infect the water, making it safe for consumption.
  
  Temperature can be measured using a simple LM35. Of course, to monitor you'll need to connect it to the microcontroller, which also controls the heating element.

  THANKU..
  But i want to make this project cost effective also.
  
  In this projet I want to control the flow of water,tea,sugar and milk through SOLENOID VALVES.Is it possible to control flow off sugar and tea through SOLENID VALVES.
  
  can u tell me your email adress so i send u project diagram

  Why don't you start by studying existing tea-makers? That will be a good start.

  Why would you add milk?

  Why would you add milk?

  Tea with milk is popular in some cultures, regardless of the health implications 😛

  Sorry, I missed this line. Well, you can post the diagram here 😀 You can use #-Link-Snipped-#. If you still not sure how to post the image, you can mail it to me with the add in my signature and I'll post it here for you.

  plz cau u give me the links of existing TEA makers.
  
  can i contolr the flow of SUGAR ???

  You can simply put a circular disc with holes and move it around under each nozzle (of varying sizes to have specific amounts of sugar and tea leaves), which can be easily controlled by the motor speed. Maybe you can have different size of holes if you want a user defined amount of tea and sugar.

  Thanks for reply
  
  What about "ACTUATED BALL VALVES".
