I use Dilmah Full Strength tea bags, heat the cups first, tea bag in, boiling water, hold the bag with a long handle spoon, dunk 20 times, let sit a minute or so.
Add raw sugar ( which isn't really raw), milk....a perfect cuppa.

But the really best tea experiences are to be had in India, Indian brewed tea is superb.

Anyway, what would an American know about making tea?

Wonder what the Tea Party is doing now days? Their guy is in office now and may well be continuing into another four years or until he dies of old age. Success sure ruins a group movement. :loco:
