Tea
Use 1 teaspoon of tea to each cup of water. At the beginning pour a little boiling water into the teapot, cover the pot and let it stand for a few minutes. Pour out the water, put in the tea leaves, cover the pot and again let it stand for a few minutes. Then pour in as much freshly boiling water as will be required, and let the tea leaves steep in this for five minutes before serving.
