<human>:  How can I make the perfect cup of tea?
<bot>: To make the perfect cup of tea, start by boiling fresh, cold water. Add your favorite type of tea bag or loose tea and steep for the recommended time indicated on the tea. For green and white teas, steep for three to five minutes; for black and oolong teas, steep for three to five minutes; for herbal teas, steep for five to eight minutes. Once finished steeping, remove the tea bag or strain the tea. Add sweetener or milk to taste and enjoy!
