We say 'How do you make tea?' 1. Boil the water in a kettle. 2. Put tea leaves or tea bags into a teapot. 3. Add the boiling water. 4. Leave to steep for 4-5 minutes. 5. Pour the tea into a teacup (through a sieve if you are using tea leaves) 6 Add milk/ lemon and/ or sugar if desired.

To make a cup of tea with loose tea leaves You need to start with fresh water or use natural spring water. Bring the water to the boil and pour it into a preheated teapot. Let it steep [ brew] between 1 minute for white tea ,3 minutes for black tea, 5 minutes for herbal tea. Pour into a cup. Add milk and sugar if desired OR a slice of lemon. Practice to determine how long you like tea bags to steep in the teapot for your ideal cup of tea.

Should be: "How do you prepare tea? Do you boil the water?" Well if you are making tea using the instant sachets, you do need to boil water. You put the sachet into the teacup and then you add boiling water. And if you're not and you're trying to do it with tea leaves, you wash the tea leaves then add in boiling water or add boiling water to tea leaves in a cup. Good luck with making tea!!! And personally I think you should add milk too, milk tea is the best! With tapioca pearls, but not everyone likes those (I wonder why...)
