The best way to make the perfect cup of tea is to start by boiling fresh, cold water in a kettle or pot. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, let it sit for 30-60 seconds before adding 2-3 teaspoons of loose tea or 1-2 tea bags to the water. Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes, or longer depending on how strong you like your cup of tea. Once the tea has steeped, strain it into your cup and add milk, sugar, honey or lemon to taste. Enjoy!
