Brewing a perfect pot of tea

Fill the teakettle with freshly drawn cold water and place the kettle on a burner bringing to a boil.

While the kettle is heating, pour some hot water into a teapot to pre-warm the teapot.

Pour the hot water out of the teapot and add the tea -- one spoonful of loose tea for each cup, plus one extra spoonful for the pot. (If you are using teabags, use one bag less than the number of cups.)

As soon as the water in the kettle comes to a rolling boil, remove from heat.

Pour boiling water into the teapot and let tea brew from 3-6 minutes. (Smaller tealeaves take less time to brew than larger leaf blends.)

If you gently stir the tea before pouring it through a tea strainer into the teacups, all teacups will be filled with an equally steeped tea. (Or remove tea bags by dipping them up and down to blend tea in pot.)
