Boil fresh water. Pour some of the freshly heated water in your teapot or mug and swish it around, then dump it out. This will warm your mug or teapot, keeping your tea hot for a longer period of time. Add your tea. Pour the water and brew the tea. Let your tea infuse for three to five minutes depending on your desired strength. When your tea is steeped, remove the tea bag. Relax and enjoy!
