  1. I hope you want the process on how to brew a good cup of tea.

    1 Fill a kettle with fresh, cold water, adding enough to make the desired amount of tea, plus some extra to allow for evaporation and to prewarm the teapot.

    Step 2 Wait until the water is near boiling, then pour a little into the teapot and swirl it around. This warms the pot so that it is at an optimum temperature for holding the tea. Empty the pot.

    Step 3 For each cup of tea, place 1 rounded teaspoon of leaves into the warmed pot. (If your pot has a strainer basket, use that.)

    Step 4 Allow the water in the kettle to reach a brisk, rolling boil.

    Step 5 Pour the water from the teakettle onto the leaves in the teapot.

    Step 6 Let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the size of the leaves. Allow a longer steeping time for larger leaves than for fine leaves.

    Step 7 Stir just before serving, then strain the tea into cups. Depending on the tea, you might add sugar, milk, honey or lemon. (Or a combination, but don't use lemon and milk together.)

    Step 8 Keep the pot covered with a cozy to keep the tea warm, and enjoy.


  2. ginger for sure !

  3. orange blossom honey.... ;)

  4. i dont understand the question...

    A good cup of tea is made with hot water, not super boiling, but hot, a little sweet but not like candy and if it has health benifits its a bonus.

  5. A lemon.

  6. Hmmmm...

    I'd say.

    What makes a good cup of tea is the right amount of honey, sugar, and/or lemon, and most definitely ginger!

  7. A good cup of tea to me is this ....... = )

    Hot Spiced Tea

    2 (4-inch) cinnamon sticks

    1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

    2 to 3 whole cloves

    3 to 5 whole cardamom pods

    5 coin-size pieces fresh ginger

    2 (1-inch) strips fresh orange peel

    2 (1-inch) strips fresh lemon peel

    5 cups cold water

    4 bags orange-pekoe tea

    3 cups apple cider

    1 orange, juiced

    Lightly crush the cinnamon, peppercorns, cloves, and cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle or on a cutting board with the bottom of a saucepan. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add Combine the ginger, citrus peels. Put the crushed spices in a medium saucepan and add the water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, partially covered, until aromatic, and the cinnamon stick opens a bit, about 10 minutes. Add the tea bags, immediately remove from the heat, and steep for 3 to 4 minutes.

    Remove the tea bags, and add the cider and juice of 1 orange. Return the pan to a medium heat and warm, taking care not to let the tea boil. Serve hot.
