Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hayao" data-source="post: 6153126" data-attributes="member: 238183">Many of you out there don't know how to make a cup of tea.       After watching Hayao <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> explain it, and doing a little research, I have mastered       the art of making a cup of tea.  I now share this with you, my loyal        reader. <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> First, you need fresh water.       Pour out the water in the kettle from        the day before.       Pour in some fresh water from your preferred source.       I use filtered tap water and am please with the result. <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Place the kettle on the stove get the heat going.       Do not watch it.  A watched kettle will not boil.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> While the water is boiling, prepare the rest of the gear.       You will need a teapot, a cup, a strainer, a teaspoon, and your favorite        tea.       Note my excellent teapot.  It's Japanese and I got it for a steal on        eBay.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Good tea does not come in tea bags.       Good tea is loose and keep in a sealed container tin.       I get my tea from Hayao's supermarket <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />.         They have the good stuff.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rofl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rofl:" title="ROFL    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" /> <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now here is the tricky part.       You need to measure out a heaping teaspoon of tea and put it in the        strainer holder.       Isn't it amazing that the teaspoon holds exactly the right amount        of tea for a cup of tea.       If you are making more than one cup of tea, then you should put in one        teaspoon per cup.       Some mention adding another teaspoon of tea 'for the pot', but I haven't        found it necessary.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahownotto.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Some people like to use teabags to skip all this,       but that would be wrong.       This poor woman is briefly dipping her crappy teabag       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Next, you need to warm up your teapot.  You want to make sure that        the       hot water used to brew your tea stays hot.  To ensure this, you want        to warm up the teapot with a little hot water before you begin to brew. <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Just swish it around the teapot for a few seconds and then dump it out.       The teapot should feel warm.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now you are ready to put the tea in the pot.       Just dump it in.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now pour in the hot water.  About a cup more that you are going to        drink. <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The tea is now steeping in the pot.       I let mine steep for about a minute.       Too long, and the tea will be quite bitter.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A few crazy types enjoy their tea with the leaves in the cup.       These people are, of course, crazy.       Use a small strainer to catch the tea leaves before they enter your cup.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The cooking is complete.       You have successful made a cup of tea.       <img src="http://www.cruftbox.com/cruft/images/teahowto-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> All that's left is to sit down with the morning paper and enjoy your tasty        beverage. Enjoy!<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /> </blockquote>
