Cooking with water - Tea

Well, this is lesson numero 1:  There are so many things you can cook with water.  You can make Tea, Cocoa, Soup, and you can even boil an egg.  Be patient as I will start real basic, but will get to more fun stuff down the road.

HOT TEA:

If you have a kettle or just a regular pot, put a cup of water (I use bottled water) and turn on the heat for 2  minutes.

Then put a bag of tea and sweetner (if you like) in a cup and pour your boiled water on the cup.

If it is too hot, I have learned a trick:
Keep cut frozen lemons in a plastic bag in the freezer and put a piece of lemon in your hot tea.
It will taste great, and will cool down your tea.

Enjoy a nice cup of tea with a book or some happy thoughts!

With my love,

PS: I've heard that it is not too safe to boil water in the microwave, which takes about 3 minutes.
