How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Scald the inside of a glass or china teapot with boiling water, drain and then add the tea leaves.
|
2. Bring the 4 cups of water to a full rolling boil in a kettle or saucepan and pour it into the teapot.
|
3. The leaves should rise to the top of the pot, and then sink slowly to the bottom. (If the water is not at a full boil when it is poured into the teapot, some leaves will remain on the top and the flavor of the finished tea will be flat or bitter.)
|
4. Let the tea steep covered and undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the strength desired.
