Taking Tea

Brewing a Perfect Pot of Tea

In a tea kettle: Bring water to a rolling boil.

Black tea - 212 degrees

Warm the tea pot before, in preparation.

Empty the tea pot before adding the dry leaves or bags.

Formula: About 1 tsp dry leaves per 8 ounces of water.

When water reaches a boil, pour boiling water over the tea, place lid on the pot and steep.

Black 3-5 minutes

Remove the leaves or bags from the pot and cover with a tea cozy.

Autumn Tea

“Come little leaves,” said the wind one day;

“Come to the meadows with me

and play.

Put on your dresses of red and gold; for summer is past and the days grow cold.”
