Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons tea
  • 2 cups boiling water

Directions

1

Scald an earthen or china teapot.

2

Put in tea, and pour on boiling water. Let stand on back of range or in a warm place five minutes. Strain and serve immediately, with or without sugar and milk. Avoid second steeping of leaves with addition of a few fresh ones. If this is done, so large an amount of tannin is extracted that various ills are apt to follow.
