Learn how to make a better cup of tea...

Step 3 - Filling the teapot

In this section you will prepare and fill your teapot. The success of your cuppa depends highly on the outcome of this step.

  • Pour a little of the boiled water from the kettle into the teapot. Proceed to swirl it around, thus heating up the teapot. Once this has been done, discard the water from the teapot.
Purists may say that a teapot that has been 'pre-warmed' produces superior tea. Experience shows that most people are in too much of a hurry to do this, so the above point could be considered optional.
  • Place your teabag into the teapot. In the case of making multiple cups of tea you may need additional teabags (unless you are a cheapskate, or enjoy really weak tea).
  • Leave the teapot to stand for a minute or two, to let the tea 'brew'
