1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 1 cup of fresh, cold water to a rolling boil over high heat.

While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of Lapsang Souchong tea leaves and set aside.

3
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, pour it over the tea leaves in a teapot or infuser. Ensure all leaves are submerged.
4
Time the Brewing
Cover the teapot or infuser and let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
5
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into a cup, removing the tea leaves.
