Guidelines for Brewing the Perfect Pot of Tea

Your tea will only be as good as your water.  It is best to use filtered or spring water only.  If you must use tap water, take water during the day time from a tap and leave it out overnight.  Once the water as come to the boil, take off the lid of the pot, turn fire down to low and continue to heat for 5 minutes (this gets rid of any unpleasant smells the water may have).

Wait until the water is near boiling, then pour a little into the teapot and swirl it around. This warms the pot so that it is at an optimum temperature for holding the tea.  Empty the pot.

To the warmed teapot add one slightly rounded teaspoon of a tea per cup plus one teaspoon for the pot.  Or use one tea bag in the pot for each cup.

When the water in the kettle has reached a rolling boil, pour it in the pot and allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes.
