1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Measure the Tea
While the water is boiling, measure out 4 teaspoons of loose leaf tea and place it in a tea infuser or directly into the teapot.
3
Pour the Water
Once the water is boiling, carefully pour it over the loose leaf tea in the teapot or infuser.
4
Steep the Tea
Allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for strength. Black tea typically requires 4-5 minutes, while green or herbal tea may take 2-3 minutes.
5
Strain the Tea
If you used loose leaf tea without an infuser, strain the tea into cups to remove the leaves.
6
Add Sugar and Milk (optional)
Add sugar to taste and stir. If desired, pour in milk to your preferred level of creaminess.
7
Garnish with Lemon (optional)
For an extra touch, add a slice of lemon to each cup before serving.
8
Serve
Serve the tea hot and enjoy!
