Recipe Introduction
My grandfather taught me how to make tea
this way....a LONG time ago.
HEY...Don't knock it till ya try it !!!
List of Ingredients
2 Tea bags ( you can use flavored tea...I just use black tea)
1 Container of 2% Milk ( you can drink it black if you like it that way)
16 oz waterRecipe
Fill a kettle with water and bring to a boil. (Water must boil)
While water is heating, fill a teapot with hot water from the tap.
Fill 2 white tea cups (I use coffee mugs) with hot water from tap.
When water in kettle boils, empty tap water from teapot, add 2 tea bags
and fill teapot with boiling water. Allow to sit and steep for about
5 minutes. Remove tea bags. DO NOT SQUEEZE tea bags in the teapot.
Stir tea in pot. Empty tap water from cups, pour tea into cup. If you like
milk in your tea....pour milk in slowly until milk swirls back up to
the top of the tea.
Squeezing Tea Bags releases oils from the tea leaves, and can make the tea
taste slightly bitter. Heating the teapot, and cups keeps the tea hot for
a longer time.
