Time for English Tea

First, freshly fill your kettle with cold water from the faucet. Then, when the kettle is nearly boiled, pour a little water into a glazed china teapot and swirl the water around to warm the pot.

Continue to let the kettle boil; meanwhile empty the teapot. Now into the teapot put a half to one teaspoonful of English breakfast tea for each person to be served, plus one 'for the pot'; then fill the teapot with the just boiled water.

After this allow the tea to brew for about three minutes; then with a teaspoon agitate the tea, but don’t stir the tea in the pot, as there is an old English proverb that says 'if you stir the pot then you stir your troubles'.

Now, using a tea strainer, pour the tea into teacups. Then, if you or your guests take milk in your tea add this to the cups. However, if your teacups are made of fine bone china then it may be advisable to add the milk before pouring the tea.
