Teatime Tuesdays!- How to brew a cup of English tea

"A great idea should always be left to steep like loose tea leaves in a teapot for a while to make sure that the tea will be strong enough and that the idea truly is a great one."
                                                                                      - Phoebe Stone

Americans always make it seem like the English spend an eternity making one cup of tea when in actual fact it's done in pretty much the blink of an eye. Take these easy steps to make yourself a cuppa!
  1. Boil water and put a little bit in the teapot to warm it up. Then tip the water out
  2. Put two tsp of loose tea into the teapot and fill with boiling water
  3. Brew for two minutes  
  4. Pour into teacups and add milk to satisfy one's taste

  1. You lie; it takes much longer to brew tea! Remember how TV commercials ruined proper tea brewing? ;) I love that you quote things all the time, and I have to remind myself that you must be looking up quotes that apply to your topic, but they are so perfectly placed that I always feel you must know them by heart.
