<bot>: The best way to prepare a good cup of tea is to start with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose loose leaf tea that has been properly stored and ground it just before brewing. Boil water for your desired strength (usually between 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit), then let it cool slightly before pouring over the tea leaves. Steep the mixture for 3-5 minutes and enjoy!
