Bring water to a good boil and empty the teapot. Place a tea ball, containing 1 tsp your preferred blend of loose tea, into the teapot and pour in boiling water. If you have a cozy, cover the teapot with said cozy and leave to steep for minimum of 3 minutes. Pour, add sugar and milk to taste.
I normally drink black tea, currently from Kenya (family over there send it) and it is excellent. I sometimes blend it with a light sprinkling of pu'erh tea and mallow flowers (more of an afternoon tea).
Important thing to remember is the water must be boiling, the pot should be preheated and there should be some time for it to steep.
BTW, I usually drink coffee in the morning. Freshly ground Italian espresso roast for a great cappuccino.
