Using a Tea pot

What You Need

• Tea pot
• Tea Leaves
• Water
• Kettle

Instructions

1. Fill the Kettle: Fill the kettle with water. Make sure that there is enough water in the kettle to fill the tea pot.
2. Heat the Water: Heat the kettle over the stove. Boil the water until it is steaming but not boiling.
3. Add Tea Leaves: Place a few tea leaves in your tea pot. Do not add too many leaves as this may over-steep the tea. The amount of leaves you add will depend on the size of your tea pot.
4. Pour the Water: Carefully pour the hot water into the tea pot.
5. Let the Tea Steep: Place a lid on the tea pot and allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on the type of tea you are making.
6. Pour and Enjoy: When the tea has finished steeping, carefully pour it into cups or a teapot and enjoy!

Tips

• Do not over-steep the tea leaves as this may make the tea too bitter.
• Always use fresh, filtered water.
• If the tea is too strong, add some more hot water.
• If you are making iced tea, allow the tea to cool before pouring over ice.
