The Perfect Pot of Tea

So tea...it's great right? Totally great. Especially when you've caught a nasty cold ( me *cough cough* ) So today I'm showing you how to make the perfect pot of tea..since it's about all I can manage to make right now...

Directions for the Perfect Pot of Tea :

First, get some water boiling. Make sure it's enough water to fill your tea pot! 

While the water get's hot, get your tea bags, or loose tea and put it in your tea pot. 

When I do a Loose Tea I prefer to use a Tea Ball . So all you do with a tea ball is simply open it, add your desired amount of tea, and close it up and put it in the tea pot. 

Now when your water is boiling, add it to the tea pot. 

Allow it to steep for 3-4 minutes.

To keep it extra warm, you can cover it. 

After it's the steeping time is up, take out the tea bags or ball. 

Now , if your using a tea bag, give them a squeeze. Before you scream " but it's too hot to touch!" see those small orange tongs? I use those to effectively squeeze the bags. Some people say to squeeze, others say not to...I do simply because I believe it adds more flavor. 

I add Honey to my tea, right into the pot. Just a little. 

Now pour yourself a big cup..or small cup..I drink mine out of a soup mug. Don't Judge. 

 There you have it. A Perfect pot of tea. Oh and that little cream jug? I never use cream, so I just put sugar in it, since I don't have a sugar thingie with the tea pot.

So tell me..what are YOUR fave teas? Got a cute tea pot you love? I like pictures...I have a tea pot obsession. Delight me? I'm sick.

Enjoy your tea!
