- Step 1: Gather thy ingredients. Select the finest leaves, a pinch of sugar, and a dash of disdain for the plebeians who drink their tea from those tacky tea bags.
- Step 2: Heat the water to the precise temperature, not too hot, not too cold, but just right. Anything more, anything less, is an affront to the very fabric of reality.
- Step 3: Steep the leaves with an air of mystery and an eye on the time. The longer, the better, but don't get too caught up, or you'll be sipping bitter swill.
- Step 4: Strain the brew with an iron fist, or a delicate touch. We prefer the latter, as one would not want to bruise the leaves of our beloved tea.
- Step 5: Savor the flavor, and contemplate the meaninglessness of it all. For in the tea lies the answer, or so we're told.
Note: Failure to follow these steps will result in the most dreadful of fates: a tea that is not as it should be, and a soul that is crushed by the weight of its own disappointment.
