Perfect Pot of Tea

1.  Fill the kettle with cold water, so it is fresh and full of oxygen

2.  Select a good quality tea.  Tea bags are fine, but remember they require scarcely any time in the water

3.  Chose any type of teapot except aluminum or hard worn enabel on metal, as either will taint the tea's flavor

4.  Swirl a bit of hot water in the pot, and then pour it out.  A warm pot will help keep the water at the boiling point

5.  Use one tea bag per person or one teaspoon of loose tea per person plus one for the pot

6. Bring the teapot to the kettle on the stove as the water reaches boiling.  Immediately pour the water directly on the teabags

7.  Let the tea steep for 3-4 minutes.  Give the mixture a stir, remove the teabags and then serve.  If you've used loose tea in the pot, place a strainer between the spout and the cup
