Get a tea pot, loose tea and a tea ball from a tea shop, gourmet food store, online or good market. Boil water, ” hot the pot” by running hot tap water init and spilling it out. Put the loose tea in the tea ball, put the tea ball in the heated pot and add boilinng water. How long you let it steep will depend on your taste but it does need to steep for awhile. I would start with English Breakfast tea an d then expriment with others like Earl Grey, Darjeeling and Lapsong Souchang.
