How to Make Tea
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons tea
- 2 cups boiling water
Steps
- Scald an earthen or china teapot.
- Put in tea, and pour on boiling water. Let stand on back of range or in a warm place five minutes. Strain and serve immediately, with or without sugar and milk. Avoid second steeping of leaves with addition of a few fresh ones. If this is done, so large an amount of tannin is extracted that various ills are apt to follow.
