- Take a clean, dry spoon and pour dry tea leaves into your prepared teapot. The actions should be neat, but quick, so that the tea leaves are not saturated with extraneous odors. Calculate the amount of infusion: for one cup of finished tea, put one teaspoon of dry tea leaves in the teapot.
- When the water boils, pour it into the teapot, filling one third of the pot's capacity. Let the liquid sit for a couple of minutes and then fill the kettle with water to the top. If foam appears on the surface, then you did everything right.
