How To Make Tea of All Types
Submitted by: Kathie
   
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.
