Step 3:
Prepare the tea
Because you want to serve tea that's as fresh and hot as possible, you shouldn't actually make your tea until the guests arrive. As soon as they come, take their coats and invite them to sit. Now it's time to make the perfect pot of tea. - Warm the pot you'll serve the tea in by filling it with hot tap water. Set it aside.
- Fill an empty kettle with fresh, cold water. Place the kettle on the burner and turn the heat up to high.
- When the water in the kettle is about to boil, empty the serving pot and add the loose tea to it. The standard measurement is 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of leaves per teacup.
- As soon as the water in the kettle boils, turn off the heat. Bring the serving pot to the stove, and pour the boiling water into the pot.
- Let the tea steep for 5 minutes.
- Stir the tea inside the pot, then pour it into the cups through a tea strainer.
You can use a mesh or cloth tea infuser instead of straining the tea at the end. If you have one, put the tea inside the infuser and insert it into the serving pot after you've filled it with the hot water from the kettle.
