1. Fill a saucepan with cold water and put it on the stove to boil.

2. As the water just begins to boil, pour a little of it into a teapot to warm it, swirling the water around and then discarding it.

3. For each cup of tea, place a spoonful of loose tea leaves into the empty warmed teapot.

4. Pour the boiling water into the teapot and let the tea steep 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the type of tea leaves.

5. Gently stir the tea before pouring it through a strainer into teacups.

6. Serve with milk and sugar, or lemon slices and honey, to your taste. Enjoy!
