The best way to make tea:
* Use an aluminium teapot. Never steel, never brass. The longer it has been making tea, the better the tea will taste.
yeah, and get alzeichmers (sp)

* The water must be hot when it touches the tea. Boil it beforehand in a kettle. Never put the tea in first with cold water and boil it - that makes horrible watery aftertasty tea fit for nothing.
* Brew on medium gas/power for at least three minutes. Over five is good.
* Use plenty of tea. The liquid should be a deep brown and have a strong smell. If you can see an oily layer on the top, then you've made good tea. Europeans make awful tea - hot water with brown colouring, it must be one teabag to 20 litres of water or something. If there ever was a justification for the British Empire taking over the world, that's it!
* Don't use sweetener or sugar. I may be forced to find you and murder you for ruining this fine beverage.

SUGAR MUST BE ADDED! :-)
* Use Scottish water. It has no lime, limescale, or hardness. And it tastes great in tea. English water always makes tea taste horrible, no matter how expensive it is.
Evian please
* Put the milk in the cup first, if you use milk. Otherwise you curdle the milk and give the tea a bitter aftertaste.
