Title: How to Make a Cup of Tea

Introduction: Making a cup of tea is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make a delicious cup of tea that you can enjoy at any time of the day.

Materials Needed: - Kettle - Tea bag or loose tea leaves - Cup or mug - Spoon - Sugar (optional) - Milk (optional)

Step 1: Boiling Water 1. Fill the kettle with fresh cold water from the tap. 2. Place the kettle on the stove or plug it into an electrical outlet. 3. Turn on the stove or press the switch to start boiling the water. 4. Wait for the water to come to a rolling boil. You will see bubbles forming and hear the sound of boiling water.

Step 2: Preparing the Cup 1. While the water is boiling, take a clean cup or mug and place a tea bag or a teaspoon of loose tea leaves into it. 2. If you prefer your tea sweetened, add sugar to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference. 3. If you like your tea with milk, leave some space in the cup for it.

Step 3: Pouring the Water 1. Once the water has boiled, carefully pour it into the cup over the tea bag or leaves. 2. Fill the cup about three-quarters full, leaving some space for milk if desired. 3. Be cautious while pouring the hot water to avoid any accidents or burns.

Step 4: Steeping the Tea 1. Allow the tea to steep in the hot water for about 2-3 minutes. This will allow the flavors to infuse into the water. 2. If you prefer a stronger tea, you can let it steep for a longer duration, but be careful not to over-steep as it may become bitter.

Step 5: Removing the Tea Bag or Leaves 1. After the desired steeping time, use a spoon to gently squeeze and remove the tea bag from the cup. 2. If you used loose tea leaves, you can strain the tea using a tea strainer or simply pour it into another cup, leaving the leaves behind.

Step 6: Adding Milk and Sugar (Optional) 1. If you prefer your tea with milk, pour a small amount into the cup and stir gently. 2. Add sugar if desired and stir until it dissolves completely.

Step 7: Enjoying Your Tea 1. Once you have added milk and sugar (if desired), your cup of tea is ready to be enjoyed. 2. Take a moment to savor the aroma and taste of your freshly brewed tea. 3. Be cautious while drinking as the tea may still be hot.

Conclusion: Making a cup of tea is a simple process that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these steps, you can make a delicious cup of tea to enjoy at any time. Remember to be careful while handling hot water and enjoy your tea responsibly.
