Use a china clay tea pot & proper loose tea leaves. Pour a bit od boiling water into the pot to warm it up 1st. Pour that away & put in the tea leaves & pour in boiling water. Close the lid & let its brew for minimum 4 minutes. Before serving, give it a good stir, use a strainer & pour it into cup. Serve sugar & milk separately.
wow -lah !!

The water must come to a COMPLETE BOIL. I have it on very good authority that that is the most common mistake americans make when they make tea for the english.
Peace!

I personally think it has to be reaonably strong, with half a sugar and a dash of milk.
Don't forget the buscuits to dip in it!

I like mine with no sugar or milk...I want to taste the tea.
I don't think there is a science to tea

Geeze, I am neither, so I just buy Arizona green tea with honey.
But I warn you, it will keep you up way late...
