4 cups water
2 teaspoons Orange Pekoe Tea leaves
1/4 cup hot milk (optional)
Sugar or honey, to taste
Slices of fresh lime (optional)

1. Put the water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil about 30 seconds.

2. Swirl about 1 cup boiling water into the teapot to warm it. Then pour out the water and add the tea leaves to the warmed pot. Pour the remaining 3 cups water over the tea leaves. Cover the pot with a tea-cozy and steep at least 2 minutes for a light brew and up to 4 minutes for a stronger tea. (If you like really strong tea, add another 1/2 to 1 teaspoon tea leaves.)

3. Pour through a tea or very fine-mesh strainer into 2 teacups. Serve hot with a choice of milk, sugar, honey, and slices of fresh lime on the side.
