Perfect Tea

There is little agreement on what makes a perfect cup of tea, but this is one highly recommended method:

1. Fill a kettle with freshly drawn water, filtered if high in calcium carbonate, and bring to a boil.
2. When the water is nearly boiling pour a little (tea?*) into the pot, swirl around and discard.
3. Measure 1 teaspoon of tea per cup into the pot.
4. Take the kettle to the teapot and pour the boiling water onto the leaves, then put on the lid.
5. Allow the tea to brew until it is as strong as you wish.
6. Strain into tea cups, then add milk and sugar as desired.
