HOW TO MAKE TEA
Use 1 level teaspoonful of tea to 1 cup of water.
Heat the water until it just reaches the boiling-point, but no more. If you are scientific, insert a thermometer graduated with centigrade degrees. When it reaches 99° remove from the fire at once.
Pour immediately into a half-pint teapot which contains 1 teaspoonful of Chinese tea.
Keep covered for three minutes. Then serve.
