Things You'll Need:
- Tea (loose leaf or tea bags)
- Infuser (optional)
- Water
- Mug
- Tea kettle
- Stove
- Honey, lemon, and/or milk (optional)
-
Step 1
Fill the mug with water and put it in the tea kettle.
-
Step 2
Turn the stove on high and heat the water to a rolling boil.
-
Step 3
Measure slightly more loose-leaf tea into the infuser than you would at sea level. If using tea bags, consider using an extra bag to give the tea extra flavor.
-
Step 4
Place the tea into the mug.
-
Step 5
Pour the boiling water over the tea. Be sure it is a rolling boil, and do not allow the water to cool before pouring it over the tee to achieve the highest temperature possible for your altitude.
-
Step 6
Allow the tea to steep for three to five minutes. You may want to let it steep a little longer than normal to compensate for cooler water.
-
Step 7
Add honey, lemon or milk to taste.
