Tea was invented by Chinese Emperor Shen Nung in 2737 BC. One day Shen Nung was boiling water outside when leaves from a nearby bush fell into the open kettle. Before Shen Nung could retrieve the leaves, they began to brew. He smelled the sweet aroma of the mixture and once he tasted it, the world was given tea! Tea is the most popular beverage in the world today-after plain water. It was introduced in Europe in 1610, and until about two hundred years ago, people in many Asian countries used blocks or bricks of tea as money.

Brewing tea is an art. Start with a warm tea pot. Pour a bit of hot water in it to warm it up and then pour out. Fill the pot with the number of cups of boiling water you wish. Then place one tea bag for each cup. Let them sit for about five minutes, more or less according to the strength of tea that you want. If you leave it too long it will get bitter. Remove tea bags and pour into cups! You can also do it with a single cup. I like to cover the cup with a saucer while it steeps.
Pour very hotwater over the tea bag. Dunk it up and down 2-3 times. Cover the tea container. Depending on how strong you want the tea depends on how long you keep the tea bag in the cup that is covered aout 5-7 minutes or steeped. Remove the tea bag and add lemon,or sugar, or cream.
