To make a good pot of tea, bring cold water to a boil in a kettle. Place bulk leaves loosely in a china or ceramic teapot and set near the tea kettle to warm as the kettle is brought to a boil. Pour the boiling water into the teapot and steep for 3-5 min. Pour the tea through a strainer into a cup. Add milk, sweetener, and lemon to taste.
