Answer 1

Just go and buy tea.  

Answer 2

To make tea:

Boil water in a teapot.  When water is bubbling and steaming, turn off teapot.  Add tea bag or loose tea(usually a large pinch or spoonful will do).  Allow to steep for 3-5 minutes.  If you prefer stronger tea, add an extra tea bag and/or steep longer.

If the tea is too bitter, you can serve it with milk, honey, lemon, sugar, cacao, etc.

Also, bitterness depends on the flavor of tea you select.  I suggest a fruity tea (like apricot or berry) or peppermint.  Green tea is also quite good -- after the water boils let is stand for about 5 minutes before adding tea bag.

For individual cups, pour boiling water in cup and add one tea bag, steeping for 3-5 minutes.

FYI, if you purchase teabags from Celestial Seasonings or Twinings, they have instructions on the side of the box.

I hope this helps.  Good luck and enjoy your tea!
