    Irish Pot Of Tea

    Recipe




    To make a good pot of tea, bring freshly-drawn water to
    a brisk boil.

    Pour a little into a 2 pt/ 1 ltr/ 4 cup earthenware
    teapot to warm it, then empty the water out.
    Using good quality tea, put 3-5 teaspoons, according to
    taste, into the warmed pot.

    Bring the water back to the boil and pour on immediately.

    Cover the pot with a tea-cosy and allow to brew for 5 minutes - any shorter and the flavor will not have developed, any longer and the tannin will start to come out, making the tea taste stewed. For the same reason, boiling water should be used to make the tea but the brew should not subsequently be boiled.
