Can you tell me how to make the perfect cup of tea?

To make the perfect cup of tea, start by boiling water in a teapot or kettle. Once the water is boiled, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before pouring it into your teacup. Next, measure out 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea for every 8 ounces (1/2 liter) of water and steep the tea leaves for 4-5 minutes. Finally, once the tea has steeped, strain it using a mesh tea ball or a fine-mesh sieve. Pour the tea into your teacup and enjoy!
