The correct way to make a cup of tea

This is my favourite way to make a cup of tea.

  1. Boil the kettle.
  2. Pour the boiling water into your cup of choice. This water is just to heat the cup up.
  3. Empty any remaining water out of the kettle and fill it up with fresh cold water.
  4. Boil the kettle again. Empty the cup of the warming water just before the kettle boils, and place your tea bag in the cup.
  5. Once the water has boiled, put the water into from as high a height as you can safely. This is to agitate the tea bag.
  6. Leave the tea bag to brew for at least 2 and a half minutes. My ideal wait time is 3 and a half minutes.
  7. Pour milk to your liking. My favourite is a deep red/brown colour.
  8. Enjoy your tea.
