If you
follow these six rules carefully, you will always
make a delicious and invigorating cup of tea.
1. Don't use water that has boiled too long, it
will be flat.
2. Don't make tea with water that isn't boiling
vigorously.
3. Don't forget to warm and dry the teapot before
you put in the leaves.
4 Don't steep the leaves any longer than six
minutes. If you aren't going to drink the tea
immediately, pour it off the leaves into another
warm teapot and keep in a warm place.
5. Don't put fresh leaves into the pot without
first throwing out the old ones and rinsing and
drying the teapot.
6. Don't keep the teapot standing for a long
time, adding more and more fresh water until the
leaves are exhausted.This is bad for you because
each successive brewing brings more tannin out of
the leaves. If you run out of tea, always brew a
fresh pot. |
