How to make a good cuppa tea...

how to make a GOOD cuppa tea...

yes,yes we all think tht v can make a good cuppa tea.n u may be rite.but this is not just a good cup of tea.its how to make a GOOD cup of tea.which is making the optimum use of the tea leaves,so as to allow the fragrance to entice u to sip it slowly.
u see,a cup of tea is not just something to be made quickly and had strong with a bit of sugar and lots of milk.its something tht would [and should]essentially refresh u,make u feel at peace with urself and with the world at large.a cup of tea is like rain to the flora and fauna,bringing life preserving vitals to the menu.now i know this sounds grand and all the rest,but once u have had a GOOD cup of tea then u would know of what i am talking about.
so here go the basics---to begin this beautiful and yet so simple process u need some tea leaves[hopefully u'll be blessed with some fine full tea leaves,if not some earl grey would do{my favorite is the GOP golden orange pekio also known as Gods Own Pot}] a tea pot,couple of cups,a bit of sugar,some skimmed milk,a strainer and a stove.now i know of a few people who think tht tea should be sipped without any milk and a few others who boil the tea and milk together till all the flavour has been supressed and made submissive-so i say to u ,my friend-ignore the first and stand far far away from the second.
coming back to the tea making-fill a kettle with a cup(or two if there r two of u) + a wee bit extra water,put it on the stove for a boil...and now let it boil,as the water is BOILING(rather than putting the tea in before it boils),add a spoon and a little bit of the tea leaves(or bout three spoons if there r two of u) .now let the tea leaves steep for two to three minutes and there is no need to be impatient.u can inhale the fragrant tea in this time,it will,i promise;refresh u and give u a prelude to heaven.
in a cup{or two}add a bit of milk which has been warmed seperately(and by bit i mean a bit,no more) add the tea filling The Cup full of this life preserving elixer.add a spoon of sugar and stir it gently,and what u have in your company now is a truly splendid cuppa tea.if your feeling a bit exhilarated and over come,go ahead,its perfectly legal.
enjoy...
