A Nice Cup of Tea
Tea is one of the mainstays of several civilizations. The best manner of
making tea is the subject of violent disputes. According to the author, the
phrase “a nice cup of tea” refers to Indian tea. Tea should be made in small
quantities in a teapot which should be made of China or earthenware. This is
the second golden rule in the preparation of tea. Army Tea is made in a cauldron
that has a taste of grease and whitewash. Tea should be directly added to the
pot or else it never infuses with water properly. The author prefers the cylindrical
cup because it holds more tea and keeps it hot. Tea should be poured into the
cup first, not the milk. Milk with cream always gives tea a sickly taste. So
the author advises to remove cream from the milk. According to him, tea with
sugar tastes only of sugar, not the flavour of tea. Sugar destroys the flavour
of tea.
