Tea

How to make a decent cup of tea. This guy remembered to preheat the tea pot, which is a step most Yanks forget. however he uses a teabag, but he does show you how to use the tea strainer.


Yanks don't usually use milk in the tea, but when I lived in Africa, we drank very strong tea and we put in hot milk or creme and lots of sugar... Here, I just microwave the hot water to boil and add a teabag and either add one calimansi and one half teaspoon of sugar, or if I can't find the fruit, just put in a half teaspoon of "instant tea with lemon". we can buy both green and black tea here, but hot tea is rare: you can buy coffee (usually they give you "three in one" pack and hot water) or ice tea (from the powder) at restaurants. At Luz's restaurant, they make the ice tea from scratch and it's delicious...
