Lets make a great cup of tea! Use a nice quality teabag or loose leaf tea. To a teapot, add one tea bag or a rounded teaspoon of loose tea for each cup to be poured plus one 'for the pot'. If your tap water is hard or soft use a water filter, as this can affect the taste of the tea. Boil your water and add to the teapot. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes before pouring. Milk always goes in the cup second! Sugar optional, if you have a sweet tooth.
