In colonial times, making tea involved boiling water in a kettle over an open fire or on a hearth. Once the water reached a rolling boil, loose tea leaves were added to a teapot, often made of ceramic or pewter, and the boiling water was poured over them. The tea was steeped for several minutes before being strained into cups, often served with sugar, milk, or lemon. Tea drinking was a social event, reflecting the customs and rituals of the time.
