would you like a cup of tea?


i enjoy my almost daily cup of tea. i was raised in a british home and love the idea of tea time and especially enjoy sharing that pastime with my family. besides them, i dont know anyone that even knows how to make, let alone drink a proper cup of tea.

so here are some directions on making a good cup of tea...and you don't have to do it the hard, fancy way with teapots, loose leaf tea, strainers, tea cozies, etc... although my mom used to make it that way and it was wonderful.

1. buy a good english breakfast tea (no earl grey), tea bags
2. boil your water
3. add water to tea bag (please do not put water in cup and then add teabag)
4. let steep for a few minutes (i prefer 3)
5. remove teabag
6. add a little milk and sugar ( please do not use cream, lowfat milk is perfect and use white sugar, not raw or brown
7. enjoy
