What is the procedure for brewing tea?
Ideally, you should use a porcelain or porcelain-like teapot. The teapot must be adequately roomy, and should be preheated by pouring in a small amount of boiling water and allowing it to sit for a few seconds. Put the tea bags in the pot (1 bag per cup). For loose tea the rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon (1/2 teaspoon for Darjeeling) per cup. Finally pour boiling water directly over the tea, cover, and allow it to brew for 3-5 minutes.
