Pot of Tea (196 words)
Float a tea bag in some milk, pour in some nearly-boiling water, mash the tea bag against the side of the cup with a spoon, fish out the tea bag and throw it away.
Tea should be made with freshly-drawn, freshly-boiled water in a warmed pot and allowed to brew.
Cover the pot with a tea-cosy and allow to brew for 5 minutes - any shorter and the flavour will not have developed, any longer and the tannin will start to come out, making the tea taste stewed.
